Patricia Cooper

With heavy yet peaceful hearts, we announce the passing of Patricia (Trish) Anne Cooper, age 72 of Elgin, SC.  Trish was called home by her Savior on Tuesday March 25, 2025 at her residence.  She was born November 23, 1952 in Hagerstown, MD.  She was the daughter of George E. Miller and the late Catherine I. Miller.

Trish is survived by her faithful and loving husband of 53 years Tommy D. Cooper, Father George E. Miller, brother George E. Miller II, two daughters Tonya Winstead (Andy) of Mount Pleasant, SC and Felicia Brown (Earl) of Columbia, SC; six grandchildren,  Allie (23), Kate (21), Jack (20), Caroline (14), Ethan (20), and Elina (13).

Trish graduated from South Hagerstown High in 1970.  She was a devoted, loving wife and mother first and foremost.  She treasured her family and embraced every moment with them.  She especially loved her role as “Nanny”.  She served her family well. She took pride in raising and caring for her children and later went on to do the same for her grandchildren.  She also worked at Columbia Rehabilitation Clinic in Columbia, SC for 11 ½ years and enjoyed her time there immensely.  She always enjoyed taking care of others in her life.  No matter the task at hand, she strived for excellence and executed all things with perfection and integrity.

Trish fought a long and difficult illness defying many odds against her.  She was a miracle in many ways and God showed his power and unfailing love through her journey to us all.  Although Trish’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us.  May her memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth her legacy of love and compassion in all that we do. Though she is gone she will forever be in our hearts.

The Celebration of Life service to Honor the life of Patricia Anne Cooper will be held Friday March 28, 2025 at 11:00 at Calvary Chapel Northeast 577 W. Killian Rd. Columbia, SC 29203. The family will receive friends at the conclusion of the service at the church.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Revelation 21:4
