Cicely Shaundell Cook received her heavenly wings on February 17, 2022. She was born Dec 14, 1973, to Viola C. Cook and Bruce E. Wood. She was preceded in death by her loving grandmothers, Marion E. Cook and Rosa C. Wood. Cicely was a devoted mother, a caring daughter, a faithful sister, a loving cousin and a loyal friend. She was also a respected colleague and leader, and, most importantly, a child of God.
A lover of fashion, music, cooking and shopping, she worked several years in education teaching at Hillcrest Heights Elementary School in Hillcrest Heights, MD and transitioned into another teaching role with Imagine Andrews Public Charter in Prince George’s County MD. Cicely obtained her Bachelor of Science Degree at Virginia State University in Petersburg, VA with a major in marketing. She began her career as a Human Resources Manager with St. John’s Community Services in Annandale, VA. After several years in working human resources, she returned to school to continue her education by obtaining her Master of Business Administration in Business Management with Strayer University. She decided to change career paths at that time to explore her interest in elementary education.
