Louise K. Cockey, a longtime volunteer and homemaker, died of heart failure Sunday at Roland Park Place. She was 95.
Louise Dilworth Keyser, the daughter of a physician and a homemaker, was born in Baltimore and raised on 40th Street near the old Maryland Casualty Building.
She was a 1931 graduate of Eastern High School and earned a bachelor's degree from Goucher College in 1935.
Before her marriage, she worked during the 1930s in sales at Hutzler's department store, and was an office worker at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.
After her marriage in 1941 to Randolph Lucas Cockey, an electrical engineer, the couple lived in Wilmington, Del., before returning to Baltimore. In 1963, they settled into a home on Longwood Road in Roland Park.
Mr. Cockey, a civilian electrical engineer, was working at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington when he died in 1967.
Mrs. Cockey was a longtime volunteer with Meals On Wheels of Central Maryland and had served on the board of the Presbyterian Home in Towson.
She was a member of the Roland Park Garden Club and the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Since 2001, Mrs. Cockey, who maintained an interest in environmental matters and had published a book on her father's family history, had lived at Roland Park Place.
She was a longtime member of Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church, Park Avenue, and later at its Woodbrook location.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 21 at Brown Memorial Woodbrook, 6200 N. Charles St.
Surviving are three sons, Randolph L. Cockey Jr. of Roland Park, Robert F. Cockey of Grasonville and Christopher S. Cockey of Spokane, Wash.; a daughter, Louise Callahan of Rutherford, N.J.; and three grandchildren.
