Remembering Monica Cooper - A Celebration of Her Life
Donation protected
Our hearts are broken as we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved sister, Monica Cooper, on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025. Monica was a dynamic, fun-loving person with a big heart, a bright light, kind soul, loving mother, cherished friend, who touched the lives of everyone she met. Her “shoot from the hip” honesty, tempered with humor, infectious laughter, warm smile, generous spirit, will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Monica had been experiencing breathing difficulties for two weeks, initially thinking it was a cold. Her condition worsened on Friday, leading to a pneumonia diagnosis and tragically, her passing shortly after being admitted to the ICU on Sunday.
Monica was a devoted mother and friend. She leaves behind her beautiful children, Justin and Samantha Clark, Casie and Jeremy Wright, grandchildren Emma and Miley. Daughter of Vernon Gale Cooper and Linda Lentz, siblings Tommy and Peggy Cooper, Kevin Cooper, Michelle and Toby Wallace.
We have created this GoFundMe to help Monica's family during this incredibly difficult time. She had no life insurance. The funds raised will be used to cover funeral expenses, memorial services, and manage unforeseen costs. Any amount you can contribute, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated and will help the family navigate the challenging days ahead.
Details regarding a memorial service to celebrate Monica's life will be shared as soon as they are finalized.
More than anything, we ask that you keep Monica's family in your thoughts and prayers. We also encourage you to share your favorite memories of Monica in the comments below. She will forever live on in our hearts.
Thank you for your love and support.
With love,
Tom Cooper and Family
