Amy Cook-Wright, loving wife of Jermaine and mother of Mika, Melia, and Mahali, passed away on November 22, 2024, after a 2½-year battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her death. She was the devoted daughter of David and Marcia Cook and sister to Melissa and Mike. She graduated from Concord-Carlisle High School in 1988 and Connecticut College in 1992. She received her master’s in social work from Boston University in 1994.
Amy moved to Jamaica and became director of social work at Cornwall Regional Hospital. She especially enjoyed finding homes for abandoned babies. During her five years there, she met the love of her life, Jermaine, and they married on New Year’s Eve. Back in Massachusetts, they started their family. Amy worked at Vinfen for several years before becoming the autism clinical manager of the DDS Division of Policy Planning and Children’s Services.
Despite her profession’s considerable emotional and physical demands, her family and their well-being always came first. Holidays, birthdays, and vacations on the Outer Banks of North Carolina were grand celebrations. Her favorite place on Earth was the family cabin on a lake in Maine. There, she could fully relax, absorb the blazing sunsets and the moonlit waters, and be serenaded at day’s end by the cries of the loons.
Amy will be dearly missed by her husband Jermaine; their children Mika, Melia, and Mahali; her parents Marcia and David Cook; her siblings Melissa and her husband Paul and Mike and his wife Anasuya; her beloved Aunt Susan; many nieces and nephews; and her closest friends Michelle, Kathy, and Lisa.
There will be a small private memorial service at a later date.
Arrangements under the care of Concord Funeral Home, 74 Belknap Street, concordfuneral.com.
