Born on January 1, 1934, in Savannah, Georgia, Lucy was the daughter of the late Louis and Gladys Clarke. She lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service to others.

Lucy was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 61 years, Richard E. “Butch” Cooper; her parents; three sisters; brother and her grandson, Aaron Virgil.

Five years ago, Lucy moved to the Greenville area to live with her daughter, Tina, where she was surrounded by the love and companionship of family.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: William Michael (Denice) Fisher of Seneca, SC; Tina (Alan) Virgil of Five Forks, SC; Lois Jane Lang of Seneca, SC; Susan (Marvin) Dangerfield of Laurens, SC; and Clarke Xavier (Carla) Cooper of Rougemont, NC. She also leaves behind nine grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, her beloved sister, Lois Charrier, and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Lucy was a Master Gardener whose flowers brought beauty to many. An accomplished seamstress, she found joy in reading, researching her family’s history, and preserving her heritage as a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Above all, she cherished time with her family, creating traditions and memories that will be treasured for generations.

A woman of steadfast faith, Lucy was a longtime member of Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Savannah, Georgia. After moving to South Carolina, she became a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Greer, where she continued to nurture her faith and friendships.
