“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow, ”said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank, “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart. ”People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “She reminded people of their Grandma, ” Doody said.
As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She devoted her life to giving back, ”said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living in their car, ”Cooper said.
Although Mrs. Cooper was honoured to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. She died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93. (295W)
