Obituary of Beulah A. Cooper

Beulah A. Cooper, 71, peacefully entered into eternal life surrounded by her family on Friday, May 26, 2017.

Born in Albany, she was the daughter of the late George and Beulah Benson Ouillet and the beloved wife of over 46 years of Donald A. Cooper, Sr., who passed away on July 6, 2010. She was a graduate of Maple Hill High School in Castleton.

Mrs. Cooper retired in 2007 from the NYS Department of State in Albany where she had been employed for 18 years. She had previously been employed as a cashier at Shop-Rite and various Capital District stores.

She was an avid Bingo player, loved to crochet, enjoyed doing things outdoors, miniature golf, long car rides, sightseeing and the times spent with the ladies group playing cards where it seemed that she was always the winner.  Beulah was a faithful member of the Temple Baptist Church and previously at the Watervliet Wesleyan Church.  

Devoted mother of Cynthia (late Steve) Brewer of Halfmoon, Donald A. (late Tammy) Cooper, Jr. of Troy and Michael S. Cooper of East Greenbush, cherished "Grandma" of Shane (Blair) Brewer, Jessica Cooper, Ashley Hadden, Cody Cooper, Donald A.
