Jane B. Cooper

Jane B. Cooper, a resident of Houston, Texas for 57 years was born in Fernandina Beach, Florida the sixth of seven children of Byron B. and Adaline Brooks. She graduated high school in Morgan City, Louisiana. She worked as a book keeper in Morgan City where she met and later married her husband of 54 years, Carl L. Cooper, who died in 2003. Jane is survived by her two sons, Richard D. Cooper of Irving, Texas and Carl (Dan) Cooper, his wife Deborah A. and granddaughter Megan R. of Fulshear, Texas.

Jane’s interests included gardening in which she took special pride including several Yard of the Month awards, an adamant fan of the Houston Rockets and an Eastern Star member for over 60 years. She opened an antique business called the HenCoop in Houston and later moved it to the Peanut Butter Warehouse located on the Strand in Galveston, Texas. She loved the antique store, but more for the people she met than the antiques. Her love of people and conversation is what she enjoyed.

She was passionate in all she did, but her biggest joy was family. She could tell you about each extended family member from where they were located to what they were doing. She relished receiving a card, a picture or just hearing from family scattered across the states and would talk for hours to who would ever listen. She cherished family reunions and get-togethers from the holidays to anyone’s birthday or any family event.

A special wife, mother and grandmother that will be missed, but remembered well.
