Natalie Cole’s Sister Dies During Cole’s Kidney Transplant

Posted by Jessica Cherry on 5/22/09 • Categorized as Celebrities, Music

Natalie Cole’s older sister, Carol “Cookie” Cole died Monday, while Natalie was receiving her new kidney, reports the New York Post.  She was 64.

“Our sister Cookie hadn’t been to a doctor in 30 years, and last week she went in and they found a cancerous spot on her lung,” a third sister, Timolin Cole, said. “They had wanted to start chemo right away, but Cookie said no.”

According to the report, Natalie was at Carol’s side when she received the phone call about her kidney and was persuaded by Timolin to leave her dying sister and get the transplant.

Carol, an actress, was the adopted daughter of Nat King Cole, according to EW.com.

Tweeters were saddened by the “tragic coincidence”:
