In the early morning hours of August 1, 2022, God called our mom, Onnalee Cooper, to her heavenly home.
She was born in Fenwick, WV on June 13, 1931. After graduating high school, she moved to New Castle, PA where she met and married our father, Benjamin Cooper. Five children completed their family: a son Ron (Bobbi Ann) Cooper of Houston, TX, and daughters Sherrie (Ron) Reno of Houston, TX, Darlene (Bob) Cuffman of New Castle PA, Marlene (Bill) Exposito of Canton, OH, and Karen Lee Cooper.
Mom resided in Houston, TX the last seven months of her life. She loved God, her husband, five children, ten grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren. She never missed an opportunity to say 'I love you' at the end of every conversation no matter who she was talking too.
Preceding her in death were husband Ben, daughter Karen Lee, daughter-in-law Bobbi Ann, twin sister Emmalee, and her beloved mother Viola. Our mother Onnalee was the last of nine siblings.
In keeping with her wishes, a private service will be held for the immediate family.
Burial will be in New Castle, PA.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the R. Cunningham Funeral Home, 2429 Wilmington Road, New Castle, where online condolences may be offered to the family by visiting www.cunninghamfh.com.
