April 21, 1943 ~ December 04, 2017

Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away surrounded by loving family on December 4, 2017 to make her journey home to take her place beside her husband of forty years.  She was seventy-four years of age.

Cookie was born in Eureka, CA on April 21, 1943 to Wm. B. Talbot and Theresa Rose Talbot.  She grew up in Ogden, UT, graduating from Ogden High School.  In her early adult years, she was employed as a seamstress, working for various manufacturing companies in the Ogden area.  Later in life she was a very dedicated homemaker, who also contributed to the household by raising and selling livestock and had the ability to create anything with a sewing machine.

She married Charles (Chuck) A. Harsin on May 27, 1976.  They were blessed with a son Charles (Chuck Jr) S. Harsin.

Cookie loved to travel and go camping in their motor home.  She loved and cared for all animals, especially horses, goats and dogs. She was a very loving and kind person who would never give up on anything.  She was an amazing woman who brought smiles to anyone blessed enough to know her and would go without if she thought someone else would benefit.

Cookie is survived by her son Chuck S. Harsin (Kori); step-daughters:  Debra (Ralph) Harline, Lynn (Robert) Quick, and Bobbie Jean (Ted deceased) Giguere.  She is also survived by a sister, Donna Thurgood (Ben deceased); a brother, M.J.
