Lacretia E. Cooper

Two of My Best Friends, from MHS in the 1960´s! Lacretia & Patricia Elmore-now Deceased, Miss Them Sooo Much

I was deeply saddened to see Lacretia had passed away. I was the aide in her first class at the Kindergarten Center. Lacretia was a wonderful teacher; a kind and beautiful person. She will be missed by many. All my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was saddened to read of Lacretia's passing in our local paper. We graduated Marianna High School in 1965. I remember she and Patricia as part of those good times in life. My prayers to her entire family.

With Deepest Sympathy, Michael Flanagan

I just want my family to know how much I thought of Aunt Lacretia and how much she will be missed. I will never forget the good times our family has shared together and I am sooo thankful that Aunt Lacretia and Aunt Patricia started our Elmore Reunion. Uncle Elwyn, Sandy, Mitch, Ethan, Brandi, and kids, I Love You All Very Much and I know that the Lord will comfort you in the days to come. Love, Alison

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My most vivid memory of the first day of school of first grade at Golson Elem. is of Lacretia and Patricia crying because they did not want to be separated. Too many memories to list. We started 1st grade together and we graduated MHS together. It is good to know she had a good fulfilling life. Love to all. Norma

I was just checking the Marianna paper today and saw the notice about

Lacretia and my heart just broke. Patricia and Lacretia were great friends is high school. Lacretia was a great freind and I hate it that we did not keep intouch. I am so sorry for her family because she was such a kind, considerate, and great person and friend in high school. I feel so lucky to have known her. My the lord ease you pain during this time and know that she is in a better place.

I was saddened when I read of this in the local newspaper this morning. Betty & I knew Lecretia & Patricia back during our school days. Her brother James is one of my very best friends that I have today. Patricia's husband Max was one of my best friends back during my school days. Our prayers certainly go out for the family. I rejoice in the fact that I know that one day that as believers in Jesus Christ, we will be reunited in Heaven with a perfect body & we will be there forever.

Our entire family sends our sympathies to Lacretia's family. We grew up with her and the rest of the Elmores while living down the street from them many years ago. My wife, Brenda Granger Dean, graduated with the twins, it seems like a lifetime ago. We love you all:

Bill and Brenda

Although we only knew Lacretia for a very short time we felt from the very beginning as if we had known both Lacretia and Elwyn for much longer. We know what a good person she was and how much she loved Elwyn and her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Elwyn, Ethan, Brandi and family during this difficult time.

Elwyn and family,

Lacretia was an inspiration to anyone who knew her. She was such a positive person the entire time she was sick. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray God's peace and love will comfort you all at this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss of your wife and mother. Ms. Cooper taught my son, Mason in 2001. She touched his life through her work at Summers. Every year when school started he wanted to see Ms. Cooper first before going to meet his new teacher. He is in 4th grade and will miss her greatly. May God be with you all during your time of loss but know she touched many lives.

Elwyn, the Stormwater staff at Seminole County wishes to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

In life you meet very few truthfully beautiful people. Mrs. Lacretia has been one in mine. I am blessed to have her in my heart and memories. She will be dearly missed.

Sandy, it has been a long long time but I wanted you to know I have never forgotten you and your family and what a wonderful lady your mother was. She was like another mother to me for awhile and I have always cherished the fond memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Kathy Kackley Haley

Mrs. Cooper,

You will forever be remembered. Thank you for the care and attention that you gave to both of my children, Codi and Chrysten, in Kindergarten so many years ago.

Rest in peace.

It was my honor and pleasure to know Lacretia. Our hearts were so saddened to hear of her passing. We are praying that our Lord of all comfort will provide to you strength and healing for the days and nights to come. Mrs. Sarah remembers so fondly the days that she taught Lacretia, Patricia & the other girls in VBS and GA's at New Hope Baptist here in Marianna. Lacretia truly grew up to make a real positive mark on her family, her kids at school, but most of all God's kingdom. We know that the legacy she leaves behind is one we should all strive to follow. God Bless You All. To honor her legacy, Mr.Herbert, Mrs.Sarah, and I will be donating Gideon Bibles in her loving memory.

Merle (Alison Elmore Williams' mom-in-law)

I am so sorry for your loss. I taught with Lacretia at Summers. She was a brave lady the entire time. We all admire her courage.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
