This lifetime memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Grace Cooper, who fell asleep in the Lord on September 1, 2016.
Grace now awaits the return of the Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection from the dead when she will be reunited with her loved ones in the Kingdom of God on the earth.
You may listen to an audio version of Grace's Memorial Service under the "Stories" section.
Please feel free to leave a tribute below or to share your stories about Grace under the "Stories" section.
Tributes
Leave a tributeI rest in my blessed hope that I will see my beloved Mom again, by God’s grace. In the meantime, I will continue to miss her each and every day. I love you, Mom!!!
Now I see where you got that Hollywood smile and lovely looks from!
What a lovely lady and apparently a sweet gal.
I wish all of us Christadelphians can also gracefully grow to be an example of kindness and positive spirit.
A picture is worth a 1,000 words and I see a proud Mom and her making it a happy home.
God bless the Cooper family. May the Lord comfort and keep you all.
Love Lois
My mom truly loved people and was always interested in what made a person tick. When she was having a conversation with anyone, she asked a lot of questions to get to know the person better. She did that right up until close to the end of her life. I was blessed to coordinate her care for the past four years, and when I would take her to the doctor, she would even ask the doctor about their family so as to get to know him or her better.
She was the best example I’ve ever had of a Christ-like person, and she is irreplaceable. Mom raised me to love the things of God and taught me all about our Heavenly Father, His son Jesus Christ, and our precious hope. During the past few years while she was living in Palm Desert, I would read the Bible to her each time I saw her, and she would often comment on what I was reading. Even though her short-term memory was no longer sharp, she remembered about the things of God and the people she loved. They were most important to her right up until the end.
We both loved to travel, and I was blessed to go on many trips with Mom during my life (besides our many happy camping trips growing up), including trips to England, Scotland, Wales, many of the Canadian provinces, and several U.S. states. We also went on many trips to the Oregon Coast where we could get what we called our “ocean fix” during the 10 years I lived in Oregon.
I miss Mom so very much. I spent time with her on average four to five times a week during the past four years, and my life has been turned upside down since her passing. I am confident, though, that I will see my beloved Mom again when Jesus returns to set up his Kingdom and wakes her from her sleep. I take great comfort in knowing that we will be together forever from then on.
Rest in peace, Mom, until we meet again. I will always love you.

Once met never forgotten
Sister Grace was a great person. I will remember her with love and affection. The funny thing is I really only met her one time in Alberta, Canada when she came to see her good friend, Winnie Hiley. Winnie could not take her out because Winnie’s husband, John was in a wheelchair having had a stroke. Hence I took Grace to Drumheller (the dinosaur area) for the day and we had a meal there. Just that one instance led us to send Christmas greetings each year after that and Grace was always extremely interested in my news update. One other time I saw Grace with Jen in Oregon and at first I don’t think she recognized who I was. She seemed to remain so positive, and mostly I remember her friendly and permanent smile.Thank you for taking such good care of her, and helping her maintain her Christmas communications. You were a wonderful, attentive daughter, to her Jen, and of course you must have been supported by your sweet husband, Eric, also, so “thank you” twice.
May we see you in the Kingome Grace.
Much love, & I know I would speak for Winnie too. xoxoxoxoxo
Memorial Service
I will always hold on to my precious memories of my sister, Grace. As children we did everything together. But as the older one, she was expected to be the responsible one. Before I started school, she set up the garage as a classroom, and taught me how to read. We explored the local environment – often with poison oak as an outcome. We took our bikes up to the Botanical Gardens and delighted in coasting down the steep slope back. When I was sick with pneumonia, she read me romantic and adventure stories that are still my favorites. As an adult, her life revolved around her wonderful daughters – sometimes enjoying trips with them, and like a typical mother, she worried about them. Grace will be sorely missed by all of us as she is irreplaceable.
