Camille Sanders Cook, beloved wife and mother, returned to her Heavenly Father on January 15, 2015, following a courageous battle with early onset Alzheimer's disease. Camille was born in Salt Lake City on September 26, 1946 and attended local schools, graduating with honors from the University of Utah in French and music.
Camille was an accomplished soprano vocalist and instructor, performing in productions with the Salt Lake Opera Theatre, the Utah Opera Company, the University of Utah Opera, and in the LDS Assembly Hall. She received critical acclaim for roles as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Butterfly and Suzuki in Madama Butterfly and for the title role in Suor Angelica.
Camille married Merrill Cook in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on October 24, 1969. She was entirely devoted to her husband and five children and tirelessly supported Merrill's political campaigns. While Merrill served in Congress, Camille gave vocal performances at Congressional venues and the Washington, D.C. Temple Visitors' Center.
Camille loved the gospel of Jesus Christ, she loved her Savior, and served as music director and Relief Society cultural arts instructor in LDS wards in Boston and Salt Lake.
She is survived by her husband, Merrill; their five children, Brian (Nipa Cook), Alison (Jeff Ross), Barbara Ann (Glen Crowther), David (Kimber Cook), and Michelle (Thornton Bertoli); twelve grandchildren; and brothers Gill and Marc Sanders. She was predeceased by her parents, Mervyn and Maurine Sanders, her sister, Lynne Nelson, and her brother, Jack Sanders.
