Anne Cooper Obituary
Anne was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She was always there for anyone who needed her. Anne is survived by her children, Eric Cooper and his wife Barbara, of Gales Ferry, Debra Cooper, of East Lyme and Chris Cooper and his wife Melissa, of East Lyme. She was the beloved grandmother of Brianna Lally and Heather Cooper, Meredith and Ethan Cooper and Amanda Cooper; and sister to Claire (Kuhn) Henkel and husband Al, Charles Kuhn and wife Joyce; and aunt to many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brother Raymond Kuhn.
Formerly married to Warren Cooper, Anne, moved to Orlando, Fla. to start a family and then to Gales Ferry in 1963. She worked for the Ledyard Board of Education for many years. Anne was devoted to her family for her whole life. She was active in scouting, school and sports. She was an avid reader and an excellent cook. She was known for having a green thumb and a heart of gold. She was truly loved and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Anne will be especially missed by her "birthday group" of friends.
She fought tirelessly through illnesses, including diabetes and cancer. Our thanks go out to Beacon Hospice and Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. A celebration of Anne's life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Joslin Diabetes Center. For questions, please call 860-691-0579.

Grandma,
I miss you everyday. I never stop thinking about you. I always have you with me no matter where I go. I have so many memories with you from when I was younger and I cherish those so much. It doesn´t get any easier having you gone, it pains me a lot but I know I will make you proud with my future and one day we will get to celebrate.
Love,
Brianna (your favorite grand daughter)

Anne, you were always a kind and thoughtful person to me. One time I recall, you opened up your home to my mother to ride out Hurricane Gloria. That action showed your true character and compassion. It eased my mind (and I'm sure my mothers mind) at that time when I couldn't be there. You were one of few people I exchanged Christmas cards with. You wrote often of the pride you felt for your children. Anne, you will be missed and not forgotten. Our loss is Heavens gain. Doug

Anne, you were my only sister, but I could not ask for a sister better than you. I will always remember the times you took me to the library (up those horrible stairs in the Town Hall) and the times you took me to Paramus NJ swimming and all the other lakes. I love you and will miss you always. I know you will see Mom, Dad and Raymond up in Heaven. You were the most loving and thoughtful person. Love Always Claire and Al.
P.S. I remember the time you and Alice were suppose to take me to see Alice in Wonderland and instead you said we couldn't get in so the two of you took me to see A Fairwell to Arms. I was only 5 or 6 lol.

Anne you were my only sister, but I could not have asked for any sister better than you. I remember the good times in bed when you would read books to me and going to the library all the way up those awful stairs in the town hall. The times you took me swimming in Paramus NJ. You were the best. I love you and miss you every day. You were a sweet and loving person who never hurt anyone. I'm at peace knowing your in heaven with mom, dad and Raymond.. Love you and miss you Claire and Al
