She had a passion for the outdoors, whether it was deer hunting or indulging in a ride through the woods scouting for deer, or just for recreation. Cooking brought her joy for family gatherings. Her love for animals knew no bounds, as she treated her dogs like her children and took care of many beloved cats. Ernestine, a compassionate soul, served as a maternal figure to many in need of guidance and care.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Ronald Cooper; sister, Lorraine Adams; grandchildren: Tony Dehart, Brooke Naquin, Josie Lawshe, Lauren Pagano; niece, Brenda Williams; godchild, Lynn Lavergne; seven great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Laurie Cooper; daughter, Vickie Martinez; grandson, Nicholas Dunlap; mother, Pauline DeCota Lindsay; father, Jerome Bordelon; step-mother, Daisy Bordelon; sisters, Linda Bordelon Pokey and Brenda Bordelon Ortego; step-siblings, James Clark, Charles Gene Clark, Maggie Bordelon, and Delores Rachel.
