August 14, 1941 – March 12, 2023
“God is our refuge and strength”. Psalm 46:1
Our tears will dry-out, but our love for you will last forever. Now that you are peacefully sleeping away from all your agony and pain; our words are few and our thoughts are deep; but the memories of you in our hearts will last till eternity.
It is with heavy hearts that the Johnson, King, Cooper, Toles, Tarpeh, Capehart and Banks families sadly announce the home going of our dear mother, grandmother, sister, aunty, cousin, and friend, Mrs. Olive Johnson Cooper after a protracted illness.
