MYERS. Rosina Louise
(COOK) Age 83, passed away
on January, 2022, at Centerville, Ohio.
Shel was born on 24 Feb 1938, the only child of Robert
Henry
Myers & Ada Elsie Doubday in Dayton, Montgomery, Ohio. She
attended Kemp Elementary School and Wilbur Wright High
School. While in high school she contemplated becoming a
school teacher or a nurse. She also began studying the piano
and found her love of music. After high school she moved
into the business world as a bookkeeper in her father's
Jewelry & Engraving business in downtown Dayton. When her
parents retired in 1959, she took over the business and
operated it successfully for many years. Rosina loved to
travel and visited Europe several times with her parents.
She spoke of her experience in England and her time in
Sherwood Forest "where Robin Hood and his men hide out". She
fondly remembered visiting Scotland, Holland, Germany (an
exciting trip down the Rhine River), and France (for lunch
in the Eifel Tower). Of particular importance to Rosina was
a trip to Bayreuth, Germany where she attended the Wagner
Music Festival and saw his famous opera "Die Meister Singer
von Nurenberg". In 1962 she moved, with her parents to
Centerville, Ohio into a home on Mimosa Drive that she
helped design. She was baptized into the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints in March 1972. She loved working
with the children. Rosina had many callings in the Church,
most related to serving the children and youth and sharing
her love of music. Among them are: Pianist and Music leader
in Primary & Jr Sunday School, Secretary in Primary and
Young Women's Organizations, Relief Society Nursery Leader,
and Visiting Teacher to many women in the Church. She also
served as a Cub Scout Den Leader and sang in the Ward &
Stake Choirs. In her later years she spent many hours in the
Genealogical Library helping others find their ancestors.
She loved participating in the Hithergreen Senior Dance
Troop and Choir that brought joy to the occupants of many
nursing homes and hospitals in the area. In addition to
music and travel, Rosina loved: art, needlepoint,
embroidery, crochet, and knitting. In March of 1976 she
married Howard William (Bill) Cook for time and all eternity
in the Hawaiian Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints. They were deeply in love and remained
together until Bill's death on 26 Aug 2021. After Bill's
death, Rosina talked about their reunion in Heavenly
Father's Kingdom and being with her "Billy Boy" (as she
called him) forever. As her health deteriorated, she
lamented being unable to attend Church meetings and sing
with the congregation. She loved the Savior and wanted to
show her love in song. No viewing is planned. A brief
graveside service will be held at Woodland Cemetery, before
she is laid to rest with her husband, Bill.
