Naomi “Cookie” Vaughn lived with cancer for several years and unfortunately succumbed to the disease on February 8, 2010.
Cookie is preceded in death by her parents, Ruth and Gunder Helgeson, and her daughter, Julie Jean Lussier.
She is survived by: her other children, Tracy Hamilton, Vicki Lynn (Steve) and Kristian Dee (Cheryl); her siblings, Duane (Elaine), Pauline (George), and Sharon (Roger); her grandchildren, Angela, Grace, Neil, Rebecca, Amber, Crystal, Deja, Dani, and Kristian; and many other friends and family.
Cookie retired to the Northwoods after raising her children in Milwaukee. She enjoyed her time – doing cross-stitch, crocheting, clearing brush and rummaging (selling not buying).
Her family would like to thank the support she received from her friends in AA and the United Church of Christ.
