Janet Lee Cooper

Janet passed away at home in Huntsville on February 17, 2021, age 72. She was the daughter of Ernest Sanger and Jean Tracey of Toronto and the daughter-in-law of Vera and Arden Townsend (all deceased). Totally dedicated to family, she was the beloved wife of Wayne Cooper for 51 years and the loving mother of Michael (Theresa) of Lower Hutt, New Zealand and Patrick (Shaina Orr) of Etobicoke, and the proud Nana of Liam and Ronan Cooper, Lower Hutt. Also surviving Janet are her brother John Sanger, nephew Christopher Sanger (Simrit), niece Leigh Sanger (Kevin), sister-in-law Kay Weir, grandnieces Megan Larochelle and Ria Sanger, and grandnephew Jacob Steeper.

Janet was born and raised in Toronto, attended North Toronto Collegiate, worked for a decade in banking, and then became a full time stay-at-home mother in Etobicoke and Alliston. She was very active in various home and school events. Janet drove her boys to games and always provided loud vocal support.

For 30 years, she co-hosted family members (including the entire extended clan from New Zealand), long-time friends, and neighbours at the Cooper's Clear Lake cottage. Janet is well remembered dispensing orders and quips from her easy chair. Her hobbies included reading and knitting - a local member of Knitters for Global Warmth.

Her ashes will be interred at Hutcheson Memorial Cemetery, Huntsville. The family welcomes donations in Janet's name to your charity of choice.
