and married Kenneth Cooper Sr, ~ From their union 3 children were born.
Her talents were many and as a creative person she loved fishing,
arts-n-crafts and taking care of family. Her first love of fishing inspired

Her motto: Give a man a fish, and you feed
him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

clothes to wear - she made sure her home was always open.
