Mrs Price passed away Sunday June 18, 2023.  She was born in Columbia, SC and was the daughter of the late Mahlon A Cook Sr and Zilla Estelle Bennett Cook. Mrs. Price was a telephone operator at Lexington Medical Center and later a clerk and assistant at ENT Clinic and Orthodontist. Mrs. Price is survived by her husband, Robert Frank Price; daughter, Tracy Elizabeth Price Branham (Jack); grandchildren, Collin William Branham (Leanne), Corey Bryn Branham, Robert Keith Branham; great grandson, Collin William “Liam” Branham, Jr. As well as, her “sister” Mary Smiley Pathel (Stanley); nieces, Debra Lynn Beckham Alexander, Cindi Beckham Higgs and nephew, Marshall Ralph Price, Jr. And so many other dear nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.

Mrs. Price and Frank shared a love of travel and were fortunate to have many adventures. She never met a stranger, they were always her “new friend” that she would keep in touch with whenever she could.  She was faithful to her church and church family.  She loved God and served with a grateful heart. Her absence will leave a deep void in our lives, but we have the knowledge we will be joined together again in the perfect peace of our Heavenly Father and Christ Jesus.
