Ms. Lucretia Camille Sterling Cook, daughter of Mrs. Linda Gray (Mr. Richard Gray) and the late Mr. Ralph Sterling, Jr.
Camille was born November 15, 1970, in Atlanta, GA. She filled this world with many beautiful memories. She accepted her wings and transitioned home on March 5, 2017.
Early in life, in December 1979, she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and became a member of morning Star Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. Camille later moved her membership to Zion Hill Baptist Church of Newnan, GA, where she was a member of the youth choir.
She was educated in the Coweta County School System and was a proud graduate of Newnan High School, Class of 1989. She was employed at Bibb Co. in warehousing, later she became a nursing assistant and caregiver provider (1997-2017). She provided exceptional patient care for over 20 years.
She adored her family and friends. Camille had a sweet and caring spirit, yet was also strong and mighty. Those who knew her spoke of her strong personality and her smile was as radiant as the sun. She was a woman whose roots grew worlds deep, whose love flowed oceans wide and whose spirit reached mountains high. Her kids and grandkids were her world.
Camillie was preceded in death by her father Mr. Ralph Sterling, Jr.
Her memory will forever be cherished by her mother Linda Gray (Richard); her children, Quakethia Cook, Takirea Cook and Terry T. Cook (Jamara); grandchildren, Z'hara Wilkins, Indi Pritchett, Lyree Hamilton, Ava Cook and Kylee Cook; brother, Rodriquez M.

To care and to under; tand,

Mother to Daughter My dear daughter Camille, you are a wonderful blessing from above. As a daughter you brought a special joy and filled my heart with pride.
Camille, you may have outgrew my lap, butyou never out grew my heart.
You were a little girl who grew up to be my bestfriend. My children are my life and they always came first. It was privilege to be your Mom. The Lord allowed me to borrowyou for 46 years and those years were oh, so precious.
However, to be absent from this body; is to be present with the Lord. I LOVE YOU!! CAMILLE!
