BARBARA COOPER
Oct. 14, 1948—June 7, 2020
Barbara Jean Cooper, age 72, passed
away Monday, June 7, 2020, at her home
in Upton, Wyo.
Barbara Jean (Thomas) Cooper was
born in Belle Fourche, S.D., to Lester
and Eleanor (Berglund) Thomas on Oct.
14, 1948.
She lived in Belle Fourche in her early
years, close to the Thomas and Berglund
families. Especially her uncles, Leonard
and Clarence, and a couple dozen other
aunts and uncles.
After the passing of her dad and the
marriage of her mother to Carson Rose,
when Barb was 10 years
old, the family moved to
Upton. She and her sister
Martha were blessed
with two new sisters,
Paulette and Jeannie. To
complete their family,
brother Paul and sister
Velma were welcomed
Barbara new additions. Barb
Cooper graduated in 1967 from
Upton and attended
Greens Beauty School in Rapid City, SD.
She started her life at a beauty shop
by becoming a licensed beautician. The
chemicals were too harsh for her, so she
changed professions to bookkeeper for
Uncle Elmer at Rose Auto Sales and her
dad at Carson Rose Auto Sales.
Barb and David Cooper exchanged
wedding vows on May 20, 1972. She
started working at the Co-op in Newcastle,
Wyo., and Dave worked for his dad at the
Upton Grocery. They moved into a small
trailer in Fredrick’s Trailer Park. They
enjoyed life as a couple for two years and
decided to start a family. Deirdre was born
in June 1974 and two very short years later
David Jason was welcomed into the world.
Something was still missing though. It
took six years to figure that out. Danielle
made her way into the fracas and finished
the circus.
Jera Monroe made her way back into
Barb’s life while she was finishing her
schooling at Black Hills and completed
Barb as a mother. Barb’s dreams of
becoming a school teacher were realized
when she completed her two-year course
in community education through Eastern
Wyoming Community College. At her
graduation ceremony in Torrington, Wyo.,
they said she was the first to graduate from
there in that two-year time frame. Then she
attended Black Hills Teaching College for
two more years, graduating with a double
major and a double minor. Barbara’s two
years at Black‘Hills State University was
spent with Deirdre taking some of the
same classes.
Afier three years of trying to get hired
in Wyoming and South Dakota but being
told she was too old, Dave and Barb
packed up their circus and headed off to
Arizona in 1999. She started work at a
special education private school in Tempe,
Ariz., with her old schoolmate, Bobbi
Peahu. After three years there, Barb went
to public school as a special education
teacher in grade school. After bouncing
around several schools, Barb retired after
just shy of 20 years of teaching. Barb and
Dave have been traveling by motor coach
for the last four years.
Barb is preceded in death by
paternal and maternal grandparents; her
father, Lester Thomas; mother, Eleanor
Rose; uncles, Leonard and Clarence
Berglund; brother, Paul Rose; and her
sister, Martha Rose.
Barb is survived by husband, David;
daughters, Deirdre (Frank) Vella, Jera (Pat)
Monroe, Danielle (Nick) Johnston; son,
David (Carrie) Cooper; seven grandchil-
dren, Christian (Amber), Bethany (Aiden),
Cydney (Henry), Joseph, Arianna, Kaelynn
and Jason; and four great-grandchildren,
Atticus, Arya, Allison and Cora.
Funeral service for Barbara Cooper
was held at 2 pm. on Monday, Sept. 14, at
Upton Community Center in Upton, with
Pastor Randy Fowler officiating. Interment
followed at Greenwood Cemetery in
Upton. Visitation was held two hours prior
to services starting at noon, also at the
community center.
Barb will always be remembered for
her love of Mickey Mouse, always having
Mickey in her outfit choice and in her
home decorations.
Memorials and condolences may be
sent in care of Meridian Mortuary, 111
S. Railroad Ave., Newcastle, WY 82701.
