It is with a very heavy heart that I have to share the sad news that our dear friend and long-standing member of our line dancing family, Kathy Cooper, passed away Thursday
As many of you know, I’ve been keeping everyone informed this week about Kathy’s declining health. I had expected to be letting you know on Monday that we were probably looking at next week, but sadly things deteriorated much more quickly than anyone anticipated.
Kathy passed away peacefully, with everything having been done just as she wished. I’m sure she would have been comforted to know how much love, care, and support has surrounded her throughout this difficult time.
Kathy has such a large family that, from all of us in our line dancing family, we’ll be sending one communal sympathy card. If you would like to add your name, you will be very welcome to do so.
I’ll keep you updated as soon as I know more about the funeral arrangements.
For now, I think it’s best to give Kathy’s family the quiet time and privacy they need this weekend. Thank you all for your kindness, understanding, and for keeping Kathy and her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest peacefully, Kathy. You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by your line dancing family. ❤️
