Susie Mae Cook, 103, of Philpot passed away Monday, September 30th, at Wellington Park in Owensboro, KY where she was treated like family and loved by all the staff. Born in Daviess County on August 27, 1916, she was the daughter of the late Rollie and Goldie Mae Richardson Ambrose; was a homemaker; and was a devoted member of Friendship Baptist Church in Philpot. Susie enjoyed gardening, her roses and her gladiolus, which she planted every year in her garden, and her sewing. She enjoyed quilting and has shared her love of this by gifting her family with many of her handmade quilts over the years. Her greatest joy came from her family. She loved her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great- great grandchildren more than they could imagine. She and her husband Bill enjoyed being strong supporters of University of Kentucky basketball.
