Congressman Cohen Remembers Janet Hooks

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) learned of the passing of longtime Memphis public servant Janet Hooks on Tuesday and made the following statement:

“I met Janet Hooks when she was dating my fellow Tennessee Constitutional Convention delegate Michael Hooks in 1977 and I attended their Mud Island wedding. In her roles as a member of the City Council and as an advisor to Memphis Mayors Myron Lowery and A C Wharton, she served the city well. Beautiful and friendly, she was a devoted spouse and was dedicated to her family. Hers was a life well lived.”
