Albany, Tx. - Zula Alzenia Patterson Cook, 87, of Austin and formerly of Haskell County, died Thursday, December 20, 2012 at an Austin Care Center. Funeral services will be at 2:00 p.m. Sunday December 23, 2012 at the Friendship Baptist Church in Albany with Rev. Butch Hinkle officiating. Burial will follow in the Albany Cemetery under the direction of Bailey-Howard Funeral Home of Clyde.
Zula and her twin sister Zola were born May 28, 1925 in Haskell County, Texas, on a ranch. She graduated from Lueders High School where Zula, whose nickname was "Zipper," lettered three years in basketball. She attended Draughon's Business College in Dallas and later worked as a secretary for a child welfare agency and for major airlines. During the early 1950's, Zula was an airline stewardess for Eastern and Resort Airlines. In 1956, she married and started raising a family.
Zula loved sewing, needlepoint, playing "Skip-Bo" and taking care and helping out family members. She and her husband Robert G. Cook spent half of each year during the mid 1980's and 1990's in Hawaii where she learned to dance the "hula" - a pastime that brought her great pleasure!
Zula has two children, Patricia Dietrick and husband Randy of Austin, and Victoria Hickerson, also of Austin; two grandchildren, Cassandra Deaton of Cocoa Beach, Florida and Jason Dietrick of Austin; nieces, Jeanette Blanch and Kay Frances Dryer; and nephews, Ronald Piland, Felix Revello, Jr. and Ralph Revello.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry Johnson Patterson and Alice Goyne Patterson; her first husband, Robert Russell Hickerson; her husband, Robert Gould Cook; her brother, C. W. Patterson; her sisters, Lucille Piland and Zola Revello; her brother-in-law, Truett Piland; and her nephew, Jimmy Patterson.
