COOPER- Unexpectedly but peacefully at her residence surrounded by her family on Thursday May 19, 2005. Margaret Roseanna Cooper (formerly Lewis, Wilson, Sutton) in her 76th year. Survived and already deeply missed by her children Bob Wilson (Lynda), Marlene Fewster (Al) and Debbie Sutherland (Greg Tonkin). We were proud to call this beautiful, gentle woman our Mom. She was adored and will be so missed by her grandchildren Joseph Wilson, Michael Wilson, Jessica Fewster (Chris Pepper), Tiffany Fewster, Kelly Almeida (John), Corey Sutherland and Hillary Sutherland (Dan Desmond). Being one of 18 siblings was a point of pride for Margaret (Maggie) because despite the numbers there was always enough love and laughter to go around. Of the 18 children, 14 grew to have families of their own but there ALWAYS remained a very close connection between each and every one of them. Surviving brothers and sisters include: William Lewis (Hildred), Florence Ashford (Claude), Bernice Sampson (Charlie), Hector Lewis (Eileen), Sadie Joyes (Ray), Hazel MacSween, George Lewis (Susie), Joyce Standing (Bobby), Daniel Lewis (Anna) and Shirley Murray."Aunt Marg" was considered a "favourite" to many, many nieces and nephews. Also survived by ex-husband and good friend Bob Wilson Sr. of Owen Sound. There is probably a kitchen in heaven right now with a tea pot on the stove and some good Cape Breton fiddle music playing and love, laughter and memories being shared between Marg and her predeceased parents Maude (Hinks) and John Henry Lewis, brothers Jim and Stan Lewis and sister Mary Baker. She was also predeceased by two great men who came into her life and brightened it in their own loving ways, husband Raymond Sutton , husband Kenneth Cooper. Friends may call at the R. D. Longworth Funeral Home, 845 Devonshire Avenue Woodstock (539-0004) on Sunday 2-4 and 7-9 pm where the funeral service will be held in the chapel on Monday at 1:30 pm with Rev. John Furry officiating. Interment in Oxford Memorial Park Cemetery. Contributions to the Alzheimer Society or Woodstock General Hospital (Palliative Care) would be appreciated.
