Lynne was born July 17, 1935 to George Grant Sleater and Myrtle Brown in Salt Lake City, Utah. She grew up in Murray, Utah, attended Murray High School and the University of Utah. She was a member of Chi Omega where she made life-long friends. She married Donald Victor Cook on March 18, 1955 in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Lynne loved reading, learning, gardening and associating with her dear friends. Her home was a reflection of her love for beautiful things. She was a detailed perfectionist in every aspect of her life. Many were beneficiaries of her talents and wisdom. She shared a love of horses with Don and their sons, especially as they showed Arabians on a national level. Don and Lynne enjoyed traveling the world and spending time at their condo in Oceanside, California. Most of all she loved being surrounded by her family. Lynne was an active member of her faith. She served in many different callings in Primary, Young Women\s, and Relief Society. She and Don served 2 service missions together. She was very supportive of Don in his leadership callings while raising their 5 children. Her love and faith in her Savior Jesus Christ and the gospel brought her great strength and comfort. While we are saddened by her passing, we know she is thrilled to be reunited with Dad.
Lynne is survived by her children, Laurie (Kelvyn Jr) Cullimore, Todd (DonnaRae), Derek (Jhonathan Gonzalez), Cami Burgon (Joseph Cromar), Carrie (Mike) Wagstaff, 28 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, foster daughter, Lori Mannie and her 6 children and 5 grandchildren, her sister, Vicki (David) Weston, her brother, Sonny Sleater, many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her sweetheart, Don, sister-in-law, Pat Sleater and her parents.
