Natalie Cole loses sister to cancer: Natalie Cole’s sister Carol Cole has died of Lung Cancer. She was 64.

While Natalie Cole was having a life saving kidney transplant surgery earlier this week, her older sister died, according to the New York Post.

Carole “Cookie” Cole’s cause of death was not reported, but Timolin Colin, Natalie’s younger sister, told the Post, Carole had a “cancerous spot.”

“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,” Colin told Page Six. “They had wanted to start chemo right away, but Cookie said no.”
