Our mother Darlene Cooper passed from physical life on October 19th at the age of 78. Born (September 27, 1933) Darlene Ruth Mitchell and raised in Wayne NE, she and her first husband (Maurice Fisher) brought their four children to Des Moines in 1960. She married Richard Cooper in 1973 and moved to Grimes. Darlene was retired from Sears. She moved to West Des Moines following the death of Richard, to be closer to her children who all continue to live in the Des Moines area, they are: Terry (Bobbi) Fisher, Linda (Bob McTaggart) Fisher, Steve (Cathy) Fisher, and Peggy (George) Simmer. Grandchildren: Don, Angela and Chris Fisher, Jaime and Jordan McTaggart, and Kelly and Michael Simmer. Great-grandchildren: Donald, Jade, Jacob, Lillian, Caleigha, Leo, Olivia and baby due in May. She also leaves behind her precious cat Tuffy.

Darlene will be best remembered for her unconditional love of family, her strong will, and her passion for children and animals. The family plans to say goodbye at a private ceremony, but will be planning a celebration of life for family and friends at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to her daughter Peggy at 1410 Kenyon, Des Moines, 50315.

The family wishes to thank her many caregivers, and numerous family and friends who supported the children, and kept Darlene in their prayers.

WE LOVE YOU

FOREVER MOM!
