Mary Lucille Cooper, 91, of Maysville, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2013 at the Maysville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Mary was born in Robertson County on February 17, 1922, daughter of the late Frank and Irene (Sims) Cleaver.
Mary retired from the Proctor and Gamble Company in Cincinnati in 1976.  After retirement, she and her late husband, Edmond Cooper, moved to Winter Haven, FL to enjoy 17 of their retirement years.  Eventually, the couple moved back to the Maysville area to be closer to friends and family.
