Adrine Robertson Cook "Momma Cook"

Ms. Adrine Robertson Cook, affectionately known to many as “Momma Cook,” age 72, of Dinwiddie, VA gained her Heavenly Wings at Bon Secours Southside Medical Center on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. She was born in Petersburg, VA, on January 7, 1954, to the late James A. Robertson and Mildred Bullock Robertson.

Cook; her nephew, Malcolm Robertson; her aunt, Maxcine Coulton (Herbert Jr.) and her uncle, Robert Bullock.

At an early age, she accepted Christ and was baptized at First Baptist Church, Petersburg, VA. She later joined Olive Branch Baptist Church where she faithfully served on the Hospitality and Pastor’s Aid Ministries. She graduated from Petersburg High School and retired from Southside Virginia Training Center. She will always be remembered for her delicious home-cooked meals and the love she poured into every dish she prepared. She had a generous heart and a spirit that was always willing to give to others. When she made a commitment, she stood firmly by her word and made sure it was honored. If she was unable to fulfill a promise herself, she would ensure that someone she trusted followed through on her behalf. Her word was her bond, and she believed in doing what she said she would do.
