Obituary of Emma Cooper

Emma "Jeanni" Lamica Cooper, 58, of Liverpool, passed away Monday, June 14, 2010 at her home after a long courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Syracuse and lived in the Baldwinsville area most of her life. She was a 1970 graduate of C.W. Baker High School, Baldwinsville and worked for L.P.S. Enterprises of Liverpool after working many years with Blue Cross Blue Shield. “Coop” was known as an outstanding bowler in CNY. She was a bowling coach at the Baldwinsville Sports Bowl for 20 years where she touched the lives of many young people in her community. Bowling was a big part of Jeanni’s life. She was the ultimate good sport and taught her students that the game was all about being good spirited and having a good time. She was a team player until the last ball was thrown. In addition to her enjoyment of Bowling, there was nothing greater than the love and compassion she had for her grandchildren.
