Dorothy Anne Cooper

Dorothy spent her early childhood in Savannah, Ga., where she was raised by the late Leo and the late Emma Moore. In her early twenties she met and married Henry Ben Cooper. Henry and Dorothy relocated to Miami, Fl., where they raised their fifteen children.

Dorothy has been a member of Christian Community Center, which is now known as 93rd Street Community Missionary Baptist Church since its inception in October 1962. Dorothy was one of the first Mothers of the church. Dorothy attended and joined a few other churches, but found her way back to 93rd Street Community MBC and was a faithful member until her failing health prevented her from doing so. Dorothy loved the church and she loved serving the Lord. Dorothy gave her life to Christ on May 11, 1962 and she’s been enjoying Jesus ever since.
