Sarah Frances Cooper

Sarah Frances Cooper, daughter of the late James Harold Williams and Doris Hamilton Williams was born on October 4, 1956, in Wilmington, DE. Sarah entered eternal life on January 5, 2025, in Ft. Worth, TX surrounded by her loving family. She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, bonus-mom, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and friend to all who knew and loved her.

Sarah was educated in the Wilmington Delaware Public School District and graduated from Howard High School in 1974. Sarah served as a dedicated military (Army) wife and experienced an illustrious career as a medical professional/CNA eventually retiring from the state of Delaware in 2016.

Sarah leaves to cherish her memories: husband of 50 years, Michael Cooper, Sr. of Wilmington, DE, who entered holy matrimony on July 18, 1975. To this union three children were born: Jamaal D. Cooper of Ft. Worth, TX; Michael A. Cooper, Jr. of Washington, D.C.; and Saresa M. Cooper of Ft. Worth, TX. She is survived by her grandchildren: Tiarik R. Cooper of Norfolk, VA; Kaiya N. Cooper and Zinnia S. Cooper of Ft. Worth, TX. She is also survived by her great-grand child, Malik R. Cooper of Norfolk, VA. and her bonus son, Makiya Barnes, and his four children of Dover, DE. Lastly, Sarah is survived by a host of aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her two sisters: Ernestine “Tina” Teagle and First Lady Yvonne Vaughan of Wilmington, DE.

Sarah was an avid lover of Christ and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was extremely artistic and enjoyed drawing and writing. In her spare time, Sarah LOVED to shop, whether it was online or going to her favorite stores. Sarah was an amazing cook and did not hesitate to pass down her recipes and was not shy on letting people know she was the “end all, be all” when it came to the kitchen. Sarah was more than just the family’s matriarch; she was and will always be the shoulders of which the Cooper family stands. She enjoyed the small things like drinking Hypoint iced tea and eating peanut butter crackers with her grandson on the porch or watching Animal Planet and her favorite Soap operas with her close ones. Sarah was beautiful, smart, and had a witty sense of humor. She will be missed, cherished, but not forgotten. She will forever live in our hearts, thoughts, and lives.
