Natalie Cole’s Sister Passes Away
May 27th, 2009 by Hannah
While singer Natalie Cole was undergoing a kidney transplant surgery last week, her older sister Cookie passed away. It seemed that tragedy may have been unavoidable for their family. Apparently, Cookie had not been to the doctor in 30 years. Upon her recent visit, a cancerous spot was found on her lung. While doctors wanted to treat her immediately with chemotherapy, Cookie made the decision to not seek any treatment. Natalie was at Cookie’s bedside when the singer received a phone call from her doctors with a kidney ready to transplant, directing her to get to the hospital immediately to undergo surgery. Natalie initially refused to go but younger sister Timolin convinced her to go saying “Cookie would want this for you.”
