"Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and dear friend to many, Mary, who worked in the hospitality trade, had been married and widowed twice."
Mary joined the Gogglebox in 2016 alongside friend Marina Wingrove.
Before being invited to join Gogglebox, Cook and Wingrove, both from Bristol, became friends at a retirement village more than 10 years ago.
The statement added: "[The pair] became instant fan favourites due to their brilliantly witty and often cheeky moments.
"Mary will be sorely missed by the entire Gogglebox family, cast and crew.
"Our love and thoughts are with Mary's family, friends, and Marina. The family have asked for privacy at this sad time."
The pair were temporarily absent from the programme because of the pandemic; however, they returned in May's series finale of the programme.
