A Life Remembered
Obituary
Linda JoAnn Cook Peters, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on July 22, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Born on August 28, 1948, in Port Arthur, Texas, Linda lived a life full of warmth and dedication to those she loved. She was preceded in death by her cherished parents, Richard Allen "RA" Cook and Vivian Miller Cook, and her dear son, Shane Byron Ramke.
Linda was a proud graduate of Nederland High School Class of 1966, where she was a Westernaire. She was the legal secretary for David Provost with Provost & Umphrey law firm for many years and retired from Stephen’s Baldo and Freeman to her favorite role as “Honey” to her grandchildren. Linda enjoyed being active, walking, exercising, hiking in her travels, and also was proud to donate her time to local charities. Her other past times included extensive reading, listening to live bands, going two-stepping any chance she could, beach glass combing, the excitement of traveling, and the joy of gardening, where she loved to work in her yard. She also found pleasure in long walks and time with her beloved dog Vino, cooking delicious meals, spending time with friends, and visiting plant nurseries.
Above all, Linda cherished time spent with her family and grandchildren. She was immensely proud of them and always present to support them at their school accomplishments, sports events, dance recitals, and Indianette performances. Her warm smile and presence brought comfort and joy to all who knew her.
Linda is survived by her loving daughter, Erin Prioux and her husband, Dr. David Prioux, Jr. of Port Neches; her devoted grandchildren, Danyel Meyer and her husband, Sam of Lake Jackson, Grace Prioux of Port Neches, and Isaac Prioux of Port Neches; and her great-grandchildren, Macy Meyer and Jaxon Meyer. She also leaves behind her brother, James Cook and his wife Theresa of College Station, and a large extended family and many close friends who will miss her dearly.
