by driving drunk in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. with a man holding onto the hood and pounding on the windshield of her car. They remarried in 1995 and remained together until his death. Cooke, who had famously informed a reporter that "I don't intend to die," died of congestive heart failure on April 6, 1997, at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. A memorial service was held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia, on April 10 and was attended by more than 400 Washington and sports dignitaries. Cooke's will, which revealed his many changes of heart regarding his wives and children, received considerable public attention. His will gave his daughter Jacqueline a trust fund of $5 million ($ in current dollar terms) but nothing to her mother, Suzanne Elizabeth Martin, "because of her misconduct and behavior which were calculated to harm me". His final wife, Marlene Ramallo Chalmers, was also cut out of his will; she filed a lawsuit against Cooke's estate and reportedly received $20 million in a settlement about a year after Cooke's death. The bulk of Cooke's $825 million estate went into establishing the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, whose stated mission was to "help young people of exceptional promise reach their full potential through education." In February 2007, his daughter Jacqueline filed a $275 million lawsuit against the estate, seeking more money than her $5 million trust fund.
