Joyce L. Cooper, 92, of Westminster, entered into the gates of Heaven to join loved ones on January 10, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband, George H. Cooper Jr.; parents, Harold and Ruth Lee; sisters, Betty Peterson and Helen Clark; son-in-law, Robert Etchells; great grandson, David “DJ” Aggerbeck; great-great grandchildren, Ethan and Dakota Off; numerous aunts, uncles and other loved ones.
Joyce was born July 17, 1929, in the small town of Ames, Iowa, the youngest of three girls and the apple of her daddy’s eye. She grew up in the Iowa farmlands and was very proud of not only her Iowa heritage but of her Irish and Lee heritage as well. As a teenager her family moved to Colorado and it quickly became her home although she would always remember fondly, her days on the farm with stories joyfully shared with her family. As an adult, she began a career at Olinger Mortuary where she would eventually meet the man who would become the love of her life and her husband of 27 years before his passing in 1999. Later, Joyce owned and ran with her daughter Linda, a Merle Norman Cosmetics studio for several years before retiring and selling the business in 1994.
We know she is flying steady with the angels she loved so much and is safe in the arms of Jesus surrounded by loved ones reunited. Joyce will be fondly remembered for years to come. We will miss her more than words can describe and will continue to love her with an unending devotion.
A special thank you to The Denver Hospice and her dedicated care providers, Vicky, Julie, Paul and Chaplain Keith Swingle.
Viewing, 5:00 – 7:00 pm, Monday, February 7, 2022.
