In the quiet repose of Brooklyn, where the first breaths of spring whisper through the city's stoic avenues, the soul of Julia "Cookie" Baker, born beneath April's tender gaze on the nineteenth day in 1952, found its tranquil coda on the eighth of March, 2024. She, who was cradled by the same borough's arms at both dawn and twilight of her mortal journey, leaves behind the echoes of her passage, imprinted in the hearts of those who knew her.

As the world marches forward, pausing to honor the cycle of life and death, a gathering to celebrate Cookie's story will unfold on March 15, 2024. The ceremony, a tapestry of memories and farewells, will weave together the threads of her being into a constellation of remembrance.

Guiding us through this transition is the Lawrence H. Woodward Funeral Home Inc., standing as a beacon within New York, to navigate the delicate shores of sorrow and homage.

Here, amidst the silent songs of parting, may Cookie's spirit find the hush of eternity, and in the quietus, a serenade to the beauty she harbored in life.
