Obituary

Ingrid A. Cooper, 80, of Lititz and formerly of Clark St in Lancaster, went to be with The Lord on Wednesday, July 29, 2015. She was the wife of the late John "Jack" Cooper, who passed away in 2005. Born in Hausneindorf, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Karl and Elsbeth Siemenrot Weidner. Ingrid had provided childcare in her home for over 20 years, until her retirement in 1995. An active member of Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, she had been a Sunday School teacher, the Vacation Bible School coordinator, and a member of the Senior Shepherds. Her faith was of great importance in her life and, after emmigrating from East Germany in the 1950s, she valued the freedom of religion that the United States offered. Ingrid was a very talented quilter and seamstress, being a member of the Red Rose Quilters and donated many of her quilts to local womens' shelters. She also served as a Cub Scout Den Mother, a Girl Scout leader, was a member of the Lancaster Liederkranz and the Dutchland Polkateers. She is survived by her children: Charmaine married to Stefan Colosimo of Asheville, NC, Christine married to John A. Emel of Lancaster, and Peter J. married to Sabiene G.Cooper of West Chester; her grandchildren Joshua and Brian Emel, and Kyle and Emily Cooper and several relatives in Germany. She was preceded in death by her sister, Edith Stepanchick. Friends will be received on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at The Lutheran Church of The Good Shepherd, 750 Greenfield Rd., Lancaster, PA 17601 from 10-11AM, with the Funeral Service to follow at 11AM.
