Glee Cooper, 92, of Ames died November 8, 2010 at Israel Family Hospice House. Memorial services will be held 10:00 a.m. Saturday, November 27, 2010 at the Campus Baptist Church in Ames.

At the age of 18 she received Christ as her personal Savior. She loved children and wanted to learn what the Bible was all about so she enrolled in Northwestern Bible School in Minneapolis.

Glee retired in 2000 and returned to Ames to be closer to family.
