Evelyn Cooper Obituary

OCEAN PARK - Ms. Evelyn Cooper, 79, of Ocean Park, passed away Saturday, July 20, 2019 following a sudden illness. Ms. Cooper was born July 5, 1940 in Medina, N.Y. to Mr. Clyde Baker and Helene Haight.

Evelyn was an avid environmentalist and loved all wildlife. She loved her cat Callie Ann and the late Deter. She volunteered for the Old Orchard Beach Historical Society, Chronic Pain Management Group, and also helped raise money for the Old Orchard Beach Community Animal Watch. 

Evelyn's faith and family were a large part of her life. She was always ready with a joke and a hug and her laughter filled the room. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

Ms. Cooper is survived by her children Lori Cooper of Biddeford, Holly Cooper of Scarborough, Marcy Cooper of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Mark Cooper of Buckeye, Ariz.; granddaughters Rachel Phillips of Socorro, N.M. and Marissa Phillips of Woodland Park, Colo. 

A celebration of life will be held at The Pines, 20 Manor St., Ocean Park, ME 04063, on Saturday, August 3, from 12 - 2 p.m.  Arrangements are by Hope Memorial Chapel. To share condolences online, please visit www.HopeMemorial.com

Evelyn, your devotion to living a well lived life, caring for & about the underdog, or cat, and completing a task or challenge was a wonder. That I was a part of getting you settled at The Pines was an honor. I'm sorry that I didn't have a recent opportunity to chat. I did enjoy seeing you when you would stop as I worked in my yard. Be at peace Friend. PS, thank you, daughter, for the card.

I and others from Ocean Park worked closely with Evelyn when she wanted a display about Ocean Park at the OOB Historical Society in 2012. What a lovely person. She walked by our house almost every day with her cat. We will miss seeing her.
