Tressie was our blue-ribbon cook, travel buddy, cornbread maker, dancer, shopper, cornhole champion, card sender and lipstick queen.  She lived her very best life right up to the very end.  We are going to miss her until we see her again.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Calvin Cooper; son, Donny Cooper; father, Grady Weeks; mother, Virgie Newell Weeks; and her brothers and sisters.

She leaves to cherish her memories, her daughter, Shirli “Sherry” Bruce; son, Jerry Cooper (Molly); daughter-in-law, Shelia Cooper; grandchildren, Robbie Swinney, Mark McNatt (Nina), Shannon Alred, Crystal Locklar (Jacob) and Andrea James; great-grandchildren, Kassie Franks (Jesse), Sara Hurst (Derek), Juliette Locklar and Abigail Locklar; great-great-grandchildren, Victoria Moody, Jaston Franks and Emmett Franks; and a host of nieces and nephews.

The visitation will be from 11 a.m. to noon Feb. 7 at Spry Memorial Chapel. The funeral will follow at noon in the funeral home chapel with Bro. Greg Beasley and Bro. Ted Vafeas officiating the service.  The burial will be at Liberty Hill Cemetery.

The pallbearers will be Mark McNatt, Robbie Swinney, Steven Thompson, Jesse Franks, Tommy Whitehead and Mike Smith.
