Norma Kay Cooper, 79, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on November 14, 2019. She was born on April 3, 1940, to Doug and Gladys O’Neill in Yoakum. Kay loved growing up in the country, attending her small country church, and going to school. She graduated from Yoakum High School and was voted 'Most Beautiful’ of her Senior class in 1958.
Kay and her late husband of 44 years, Cleo Cooper, enjoyed owning Cooper Chevrolet, buying and selling houses, and checking on their cows each evening. She loved to cook, read, quilt, go fishing, and entertain her family. Kay learned at an early age that caring for her parents and making them top priority would later be cherished and reciprocated by her own children. As a mother, she loved her children with all her heart. She was all in—always there for each of us, no matter the need. We have all been so blessed to call her ‘Mom’.
Kay enjoyed being a mother and cherished her grandchildren who called her 'Nina'.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Cleo Cooper; parents; brother, Gary O’Neill, and beloved son-in-law, Max Roesch.
Visitation will be Sunday, November 17, 2019 at Austin Street Baptist Church, 1308 East Gonzales Street, Yoakum Texas from 1:30-2:30 pm. The funeral service will be immediately following the visitation time with Pastor Hollas Hoffman and Brother Dale Turner officiating. Burial will be at County Line Cemetery. Reception following the burial service at the Austin Street Baptist Church fellowship hall.
Pallbearers include her six grandsons: Drew Price, Derrick Price, Hunter Cooper, Zane Roesch, Cash Cooper, and Luke Helweg.
