Ann McGee-Cooper

Every word Ann spoke resonated with pure kindness, creativity, and joy of life.

As a former student of Ann's, I was on this very day, writing an article about Joy and then, of course, about her. Ann taught me, as a new young administrator so many things and most especially about Joy Time. I have the little book that I made in her class and have had it in my desk since 1985. I always pick it up, find my joy and think of her. I am so saddened to know she is gone and somehow I failed to hear or see about it. Her life is still touching all those who were so blessed to...

Oh my, I just happened to learn of Ann's joining the angels. My heavens, what an inspirational lady she was. I send my condolences to dear Duane and the staff, and her family and friends. She made our world better for all of us whom she touched in her own unique way. Now she is certainly teaching every angel above how to tap dance. I will think of that every time I hear thunder.

I am so sorry to learn of Ann's passing. She was one of my mentors when I was teaching TAG fir Dallas ISD. I went on to become a consultant and often thought of Ann and tried to share her enthusiasm for creativity. She was a very special lady!

Her writing about different learning styles was so helpful to me and the many students (both young and adult) that I served. She was a wonderful model for so many.

So saddened to learn of Ann's passing. I will never forget the seminar I took from her years ago on engineering energy and time management. I've listened to her tapes on "Awakening Your Sleeping Genius" several times and have always been inspired by her creative thoughts and messages. I know her sparkle will continue to light the lives of all those who knew her.

As a couple, Ann and Larry were the consummate hosts. Holiday dinners and conversations shared in the garden and treehouse will echo in our hearts across the years. So glad her work will continue through the TMCA team. Sending both personal and professional families much love during this time of transition.

As a greeter and hospitality ministry volunteer I always received such a thrill seeing Ann and Larry at Cathedral of Hope the last few years. It gave me such joy when she introduced me to her loving family. She always made me feel so special. I will forever hold her deep in my heart. Christmas Eve service will not be the same for me, we always stood next to each other singing Silent Night.
