She was born at home in Rowsburg, on Sept. 13, 1933, to Cleon and Dorothy (Brandt) Humrichouser.
A graduate of Ashland High School, she married Eugene Gilbert Cooper on June 23, 1951. Mr. Cooper predeceased her.
Mrs. Cooper was a loving wife, mother and grandmother to sons, Garry of Ashland and his son Ryan of Lexington, Rollin and his wife, Judith Cooper, and their children Jordan (Katie) of Athens and Maggie of Akron; and daughter, Jayne Feathers of West Lafayette, Ind., and her stepson, Brian (Melissa) of Noblesville, Ind.
Mrs. Cooper enjoyed working with people and was retired from 40 years as a medical assistant for physicians and psychologists. Family was the center of her life and she attended many baseball games and music performances of her children.

Reunions, showers and other special family events were a particularly happy time in Dixie's life.
