Betty Joan Cooper, 80, of Port Lavaca, passed away Friday, January 29, 2016 at Detar Medical Center in Victoria with her family by her side. Betty was born November 13, 1935 in Port Lavaca, TX to W.B. and Lillian Heinroth Neill.
She married Dale E. Cooper on February 4, 1956 in Port Lavaca and this week they would have celebrated 60 years of marriage. Betty was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker who loved quilting, cooking and volunteer work.
Betty never missed an opportunity to play a game of hand and foot with her friends or travel to a new destination with the girls or Dale. She was passionate about serving others and volunteer work. Betty would lead Bingo at Trinity Shores, Senior Citizen Center and the nursing home with her dear friend Susie. Spending time making crafts and sharing laughs at the Senior Citizen Center brought Betty joy beyond measure.
