She and her husband, Dale, spent their retirement years helping home-bound folks by delivering Meals on Wheels, and her talent and passion for singing has been enjoyed by church congregations, wedding guests, and retirement facilities throughout the span of her life.
Cherryl was a member of the Chippewa United Methodist Church and its choir; she loved the Lord, and knew she’d be spending eternity with Him.
A special thank you must go to Karen Christian and the entire staff of Christian House Home Health and Assisted Living. We wish we could name everyone, but to Christin and Camden, your good-morning kisses made a profound impression on Mom.
Cherryl is preceded in death by her husband, Charles D. Cooper, in 2011, a sister and brother-in-law, Artherine and Thomas Kirkpatrick, and nephew, Thomas Kirkpatrick.
She is survived by two sons and daughter-in-law, Eric and Pamela Cooper, New Brighton, and Paul and Tina Cooper, Beaver Falls, two grandsons, Samuel Cooper (Bekah), Kauai, Hawaii, and Jonah Cooper (Julianna), Greenburg, two nieces, Cindy Kirkpatrick and Pamela (Jeff) Butler, and a niece, Zoe Ann Kirkpatrick, as well as many great-nieces and nephews.
