I just found out today that Mama Cooper passed away, I was shocked! I have so many wonderful memories through my childhood and adult life. Mother may heart is so broken, especially when I saw you passed on my birthday.  I will always love you and I miss you so much. Rest in Power Mother , you will forever live in my heart. 

Yolanda, Kenny, Kevin and Cooper Family ~ we will always cherish loving  memories of beautiful Aunt Vess...she would keep in touch with us all here on the East coast talking for hours with Darren and Mom Carolyn. If the home phone battery went out,  would switch to the cell phones remembering the good ol’ days ☺️. We truly miss her and she is forever in our hearts. Love you all. May she rest in heavenly peace. 🙏🏾

To the Cooper family, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.  I will continue to be in prayer for you Charlotte Washington🙏🏾

Sister Cooper was my singing buddy when I sang in the Senior Choir.  We sat next to each other for many years keeping each other on part.  I have very fond memories of Vivian.  She would call me every so often, even after I had left St. Stephens.  She was a wonderful woman.  My sincerece condolences to her family.
Rest in Heaven Vivian.......

Yolanda, my prayers are with you and your Family.  She was a lovely lady.  

Sister Cooper was as quick-witted as she was kind. I am grateful and blessed to have known such a wonderful soul. I am secure in my solace that I will see her again in Glory.  My prayers are extended to her loving family as they grieve. May the Lord provide comfort and mercy. 

Sincere condolences to you family. From your family here in Maryland and Virginia you "all" remain in our prayers and know we are with you in spirit. We love you and will hold our heads high in remembering and honoring Aunt Vess forever.  

Beautiful family and one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. Loved hearing Mrs. Cooper sing! 

I always called Her MY VIVIAN. I loved her since I met her in missions in 1993. She was my girl! Now she's Our Lord and Savior's Girl! Much love to her family. Blessings  to all.

Yolanda and Cooper family, I will never forget Mother Cooper. I will always remember her smile and the many songs she shared from her heart while singing in the Sr. Choir. She would always ask about my children before leaving the church. Her laughter will always remain in my heart. 

Love you all,
Cheryl Moore

To Yolanda and all The Cooper Family :
It is hard to let someone go who means so much to so many people. Sister Cooper was a pillar to the St. Stephen Family.  I just enjoyed so much being around her with that wonderful spirit she always displayed.  May the beautiful memories of a life well lived bring happy thoughts and treasured moments.  Sister Cooper lived her life to its fullest.  Keep her beautiful spirit close to your heart every time you are feeling her loss.  Trusting God to carry you through.
With Deep Sympathy

I am sorry for your loss, Family. I am blessed to have known Vivian.  I literally ran into her late husband Frank as he sat on a bench in K- mart in Newport News, VA, as he waited while Vivian shopped. He was wearing a Bulldog cap. I am a Bulldog, and I asked why he didn't come to alumni meetings. He explained he lived in California, but was from Orangeburg, SC, my hometown! He asked if I knew a certain lady there, and lo and behold, it was my aunt, his classmate. What a small world. Vivian came out, we became friends, and I visited every time they came to the Peninsula.  God rest her beautiful soul. 

Our deepest sympathy from Kenneth & Sandra Brookins of Baltimore, Maryland

I was  sorry to hear  of the passing of your mom.   In  my earlier  years  I heard my  late father speak  fondly of  his  female  cousins that lived next door to him.    I pray that  God will strengthen you as you go through this phase of life.

I sang in the senior choir with Sister Cooper for 3 years.  I met her after I joined the senior choir in 2017.   I miss her solo that she used to sing.  I loved her stories that she would tell me about Mahalia Jackson.  Sister Cooper was funny.  She is sorely missed.  Heaven has another beautiful singer in their heavenly choir.  Rest easy my friend.  Blessings.  Prayers for the family.

It has been such a Blessing to have known her and calling her "Ma Viv".   You and Brother Cooper (Dad) both were so welcoming to me when I first came to St. Stephen.  We went on several trips to Mission's Conferences and you were always a Joy and so Enthusiastic for Missions.  I just want to say to the Family, she was truly Loved and will be missed by all of us who knew her.

Love You Much,
Theresa Ware

My deepest condolences to daughter Ms  Yolanda Carter and family members on the passing of Mrs. Vivian Cooper. It was a privilege to be a part of her health care team at Kaiser Permanente during her last part of life journey.  She was such a special lady, kind and full of life.  May your beautiful memories of her keep you and your family members comfort at this time and always.  DIEM-LINH TRAN NP.

To Cooper Family I pray God continue to grant you all peace doing this time I miss sister Cooper but know that she’s resting in Heaven I will cherish the times we spent together and i will always remember her singing “It’s Your Season 

Londa, 
 I'm praying daily for you, your brothers, children, grandchildren and relatives near and far.  Ms. Viv used to tell me " I'm on the scene".  When or where ever she arrived she was dressed from head to toe and "On the scene" without question.   Ms. Viv has moved on to a BIGGER SCENE and I know she made quite an entrance.  

Thank  you Londa for sharing your mom with my family.  We love you and truly loved Ms. Viv
God Bless 
Sue and Joey

Dear Yolanda, Kenny, Kevin Family and Friends:				

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our loved one - Cousin Vivian, aka “Vess.” Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you cope with her loss and your feelings of grief. 

Cousin Vivian was a true inspiration to all that knew and loved her.  Her passion for family was contagious and truly remarkable.

Cousin Vess, like myself, had a strong love for family. I recall her and most of you always visiting your aunts, uncles, cousins and friends whenever you came to Virginia.  Yorktown, specifically Dandy, was home!  I remember, with fondness, the many “back in the day” stories shared with my Mom and Dad when they were alive, and all of the jokes, laughter, and loud fun we shared.  

Death leaves a hurt that no one can heal, but love leaves a memory no one can steal.  The Bible says that “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heat,” and “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” I know she is singing in the Heavenly Choir with the angels!  It is my hope that God will fill you with joy and peace as you trust in HIM, and that the special memories you hold dear will be a source of pride and strength for days to come.

Mabel, Beaver, Kriss, Russell, Carl, and Lyn


Please accept our condolences in the homegoing of Mother Cooper. The Cooper's were one of the first families we met when we joined St. Stephen.  Brother Cooper would call my husband and have him laughing.  Such kind people. I'll miss seeing her but I know she is resting in Paradise. 
" It's Your Season To Be BLESSED.
Love you all. 

To the Cooper family: So very sorry for your loss. Will always remember her beautiful voice as a faithful member of the senior choir @ St. Stephens Baptist Church.
Your Sister -n- Christ, 
Deloris Griffin
