April 29 is a special day for @twedescafe . On this date in 1976, Pat Turpin-Cokewell along with Isabel Davis officially reopened the cafe after it was sold by Margit Haverson and Josephine Tinglestad. Pat had worked for the previous owners since April 11, 1971, just three days after they had purchased it from Mrs. Darlyne McCrea, daughter of Frank Marsolais (the MAR in Mar-T Cafe). Free coffee and cake were served 50 years ago during the reopening

I first met Pat Cokewell at the 2001 Twin Peaks Festival and I’ll never forget her kindness. It was my first time attending, and after being a fan for so long, the idea of being able to meet her was thrilling. What struck me most was that even after selling the diner in 1997, she was still so deeply engaged with the Twin Peaks community, bringing her incredible pies and charm to the picnic! More than anything, I remember her kindness, her patience, and her willingness to share her stories. She spoke about what it was like to have David Lynch filming at her diner for both the Pilot and Fire Walk With Me, captivating the 300 fans gathered at the Festival picnic that weekend. In 2013, I would find myself in an editing bay at an Iron Mountain facility, searching through hundreds of reels of footage for deleted scenes to present to David Lynch for The Entire Mystery Blu-ray. You can imagine my shock and pure delight when we uncovered a deleted nighttime RR shot from the pilot. And there, instead of Peggy Lipton, was Pat Cokewell herself, in the RR uniform. It was just one quick shot hidden among stacks of 35mm reels, but unmistakably Pat! We ensured it made it to the box set and can be found in the “Atmospherics” Menu for Disc 3. Ten years later, in 2023, I had the chance to see her again. We were planning our Neon Dream campaign and the sign lighting ceremony, and it meant a great deal to me to have Pat there. She graciously accepted. We met at @twedescafe the day before the lighting, and she sat down with me for an interview for my documentary. Then at 92 years old, she was sharp as a whistle! She shared the full history of Thompson’s, the Mar-T, Twede’s, her pies and a number of stories I had never heard before. We talked for over an hour, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have captured those stories. My deepest condolences to her family. To Twin Peaks fans, Pat was more than part of the story... she was part of its soul. Thank you Pat for your warmth, your generosity, and for welcoming all of us into your magical diner.

Did you know Pat Cokewell, previous owner of the Mar-T Cafe (known today as @twedescafe ) appears as a Double R Diner waitress in a deleted scene from “Twin Peaks?” Cokewell operated the cafe from late April 1976 to June 1997. For seven years after the show’s debut, hundreds of thousands of fans enjoyed cherry pie and damn fine coffee at her diner, a tradition that continues today with current owners Rachel and Max

Today we honor the life and legacy of the one and only Pat Cokewell. She was always so supportive of us and her contributions to our community are immeasurable. The first picture is my favorite, she and Frank Silva became unlikely friends during the original production of Twin Peaks. The second picture is from our Neon Dream event where Pat was the guest of honor ❤️ We’re sending love to her family, friends and anyone who was touched by her.
