Margaret Koper Obituary
She was born in Elizabeth, Pa on January 20, 1952 a daughter of the late Earl and Paula Endele Beeler.
Maggie, along with her husband, are long time owners of Koper Services and Sunset Drive-In, where she would be found in the ticket booth or behind the snack bar every summer weekend.
Maggie loved her trips to Disney World and spending time with her Florida friends. She enjoyed playing cards and checking her scratch offs. Maggie was a very generous person who would do anything for anybody. She was often found on the floor rough housing with her nieces and nephews. She loved all her kids very much and never showed up empty handed. Everyone should be as lucky to have an Aunt Maggie in their life.
Maggie is survived by her husband of 43 years, Dennis, She is also survived by one sister, Earlene Yeager (Nick) and two brothers, Carl Beeler (Jan) and Charles Beeler (Jeannie), her niece Jessica Perez, and three nephews, Jason Beeler, Bob Beeler and Ben Beeler, as well as 10 grand nieces and nephews. Maggie is also survived by her chosen son and daughter, David and Billie Jo Cooper, whose bond with her was one of deep love and mutual respect.
The family would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Ashley Hawkinson, from Hospice, for all her loving care.
Friends may call at the Kloecker Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc 2502 Sassafras St. on Saturday from 1 pm until the time of the service at 3 pm. Send condolences to www.kloeckerfuneralhome.com
Burial will be private.

Thank you Maggie and Dennis for being you. Thanks for letting me in free. The boys will miss their popcorn but maybe Denny will give it to them. Prayers for you

Prayers for Dennis and family. We knew Maggie from the Fort Wilderness Campground at Disney. Always enjoyed her Company. I can still see her sitting outside with a pile of peanuts feeding the squirrels. We will miss her. Catherine Rutter

Mama is what you were to a lot of us. I will miss you dearly you weren´t just my boss you were my 2nd mom and I learned so much from you. I knew if I needed anyone to talk to you would be there. I´m so grateful to have such a beautiful soul, happy go lucky person in my life. I have so much memories that I will cherish forever. The picture of you and poppie is my favorite because it shows the love between you two and that was a great day that we got to spend together you, poppie, Melody and Me. I will miss you so much the drive in will never be the same but know I will be there to help poppie anytime he´s asks, I know he will be broken without you but I know he has so many people that loves both of you dearly that will help him through this hardship. Love ya Mama
