Joan "Missie" Marie Cooper

Joan “Missie" Marie Cooper was born on April 7, 1963 in Stockton California. Missie lived in Alaska, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah and Montana, but Idaho was always her home. She moved to Bonners Ferry where she spent most of her life. Here is where she did an amazing job at raising her kids all on her own. She was a very nurturing person always making you a cozy bed if you needed and catering to your needs. If you were ever down on your luck and needed a place to stay, she would open her home to you. She was the life of the party and never knew a stranger.

Family was very important to Missie, she would have her Sunday barbecues, and everyone was welcome. Some of the family’s best memories with Missie were in fact, these traditional Sunday barbecues. No matter what stage of life that Missie was in, somehow, someway she could make the person next to her laugh, and feel loved.

Missie loved and was loved by many. She was super excited and proud to be a mother, grandma, and great grandma.

On February 2, 2025 she was reunited with her beloved son Tony, her mother Joan, her father Melvin as well as some of her fur babies.

Those she leaves behind are her children: Cassandra, Brandon and Kristie. Her grandchildren Anthony, Nicholas, Mariah, Isaiah, and soon to be baby girl. Her great grandchildren Bentley and Remedy. A brother Tracy, and step mom Myrna. As well as other family and friends.

We will miss your laugh, your smile and your words of encouragement. We love you more!
