Loretta June Cooper, 78, Point Pleasant, died peacefully on Monday, May 25, 2020, and joined her son, Johnny, in heaven after a long illness.  She was born June 15, 1941, to the late Jewel & Grace Dunlap.  In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her son, Johnny Cooper.

She devoted her Christian life as a wife, mother and grandmother.  She was known for her passion of doing things perfectly.  She was beautiful, artistic, and loved conversation.  She loved to cook and entertain her family with grand meals beautifully displayed--a woman of many talents.  Her home and yard were especially areas where she worked tirelessly and the results were beautiful.  She was well versed in so many areas of life.  There was absolutely nothing she could not do and she loved learning.  She gave of herself whenever and wherever needed.  She especially loved her Sacred Heart church family where she served faithfully.  She was the bookkeeper for many years and served on the Women's Club, served on the Rummage Sale Committee and in many other areas of need within the church.  Loretta was a devoted supporter of West Virginia Right To Life and attended many of the rallies and parades.

Loretta is survived by her loving husband, John F. Cooper, of which she was married to for 62 years; daughters, Pam (Bruce) Nibert, Elizabeth "Bunny" Patterson; grandchildren; Ryan (Jenny) Johnson, Luke (Steffani) Patterson, Loren (Derrick) Watterson, and Ashley Siders; great-grandchildren; Hunter & Bailey Johnson, Luke Patterson, Liam, Izabel and Chloe Sellers, Cy & Autumn Watterson, Harry Cooper & Presley Siders; brother; Francis Lee (Jenny) Dunlap; sister; Juanita (Rankin) McDaniel; close friend since grade school;  Eva Jane Carry; Goddaughter, Hannah Milhoan; and her extended family of in laws, nieces, and nephews, whom she loved very much.
