Ella Cook Was ‘Specifically Targeted’ in Brown University Attack: Insider

Ella Cobbs Cook was born on July 18, 2006, in Birmingham, Alabama, where she was raised with her parents and two sisters, according to her obituary.

“Her bright young life was taken from her on December 13, 2025 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,” the obituary states.

Cook was an active member of the Cathedral Church of the Advent, an Episcopal congregation in Birmingham. Her Christian faith shaped much of her daily life and relationships, family members said in her obituary.

She taught Bible studies and Sunday School and regularly worked with younger children. Her obituary says she believed her highest calling would one day be motherhood.

Friends and family described Cook as soft-spoken, but deeply influential. She was someone who led not through prominence but through consistency, empathy and service.

“She loved people as people,” family members said, noting that she was intentionally focused on the well-being of those around her.
