Mavis Marlene Cooper, of the Damron Creek Community of Russell County, passed from this life on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, at her home. She was 85 years of age.

She spent many years working in different garment factories in the Russell County area. For some time, she owned her own Upholstery shop, "The Renewal Shop", where her workmanship was known across multiple states. She was a "jill-of-all-trades"; she could build cabinets, run water lines and tackle electrical projects. Ms. Mavis loved going fishing and her Thursday nights out with family, with a different restaurant to try every week. She made sure hers was a close-knit family.


She was born November 23, 1937, on Damron Creek, daughter of the late Alpha B. and Edna P. Hammonds Roy. She became a member of Mt.

Along with her parents, She is preceded in death by her husband, Jacob Cooper; her grandson, Rodney Wheat; her brothers, Kenneth Roy and Kendal Roy; and her sisters, Faye Wilson, Vada Powel and Madeline Robertson.
