When he returned, they moved to California and then to Arizona where he was discharged. They returned to Caldwell, where they lived the rest of their long lives together. Irene operated a beauty salon in her home for over thirty years where every customer was a good friend. Irene loved gardening, baking, and reading. She enjoyed the annual Notus High School reunions and working at the precinct on election day. She is survived by her husband and best friend of 58 years, Lilburn Cooper; her brother, Herb Bittick of Glendale, Arizona; her daughter, Barbara (Bill) Precht of Meridian; her son, Gary (Jane) Cooper of Pocatello; four grandchildren, Jacob Precht of Meridian; Aaron Cooper of Seward, Alaska; Peter Cooper of Bozeman, Montana; Elizabeth Cooper of Los Angeles, California, and several nieces and nephews.
