Mary Frances Cooper, 83 of Valley Grove, West Virginia, went to be with the Lord on Friday, May 22, 2020, while in Marietta Memorial Hospital hospice care.

Born on Dec. 11, 1936 in Valley Grove, West Virginia, she was the daughter of the late Lloyd and Nellie Mae Roberts.

She was also preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth L Cooper; her sister, Barbara Welker; and husband, Wilson Welker.

Mrs. Cooper was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a 1954 graduate of Triadelphia High School and called Valley Grove Assembly of God Church in Valley Grove, West Virginia and Woodsfield Christian Church in Woodsfield home during her time with us. Mary was a long-term caregiver for many years. She enjoyed reading newspapers to keep up with current events and never missed a chance to play bingo.

Mary also blessed the communities of Valley Grove, West Virginia and Woodsfield in her lifetime. Lifetime friends from Valley Grove, Doris Smith and Betty Jane Myers, spent hours at a time on the phone talking about family and faith. Upon moving to Woodsfield in 2008, she was adopted into the community and became friends with Vernon and Cora Blackstone, Mary Basset, Roy and Judy Pittman, Howard and late wife Norma Williams and Richard and Betty Hopton.

Surviving are two sons, Day (Regina), of Valley Grove, West Virginia; Dr. Kenneth (Karena) Cooper, Jr., of Woodsfield; one daughter, Connie (Mark) Haggerty, of Valley Grove, West Virginia; three grandchildren, Elizabeth Mary and Garrett Cooper Haggerty, and Alex Walter Cooper, and one sister, Marlene (James) Everson, of St. Clairsville and Naples, Florida. Also surviving are many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

A funeral service and interment were conducted at the West Alexander, Pennsylvania Cemetery with immediate family attending and Rev. Anthony McSwords officiating.
