Lola Maureen Cooper (Cole), 76 of Ocala, FL, passed away on Friday, May 19, 2023.

Maureen was born in Daytona Beach, FL on April 19, 1947. The daughter of the late Otis and Dorothy Cole. Formerly of Maurertown, VA.

She is survived by daughter, Renee of Surprise, AZ; sons, Frank (Tammy) of Toms Brook, VA, Ronald (Juliana) of Williamson, GA, Timothy (Jennifer) of Stephens City, VA; 9 grandchildren, Jacob, Cody, Cassie, David, Michaela, Bethany, Aaliyah, Garrett, and Riley; 2 great-grandchildren, Oliver and Preston; close friends, Robert Turney and Kim Sirk.

Along with her parents, Maureen is preceded in death by her husband, Frank Cooper Jr. and brother, Mark Cole.

Maureen was a nurse for many, many years. She enjoyed teaching nursing and working in the emergency room and congestive heart failure clinic. She retired from Valley Health (Winchester Medical Center).

Traveling was one of Maureen’s favorite things to do. She enjoyed trips to Ireland, Scotland, Israel, Bahamas, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, and many more. She loved to see the world.

Her greatest joy of all was spending time with her family and friends. From vacations, taking her grandchildren on little adventures, and hugs from her great-grandchildren, to holidays and family gatherings and celebrations. It all put a smile on her face.

Maureen fulfilled her dream to move to Florida, where she spent her last three years enjoying the sunshine, riding her golf cart, and making new friends. She volunteered at Hospice, joined a quilting group, and had many neighborhood gatherings.

She had a zest for life and was a social butterfly, with her spunky, up-beat personality. Maureen will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

A service will be held for Maureen on Saturday, July 1, 2023 at 1 pm, at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel, Winchester, VA. A reception will be held following the service at Omps Reception Center.

Sending prayers for comfort to the whole family and to all that loved Maureen. She was one amazing nurse, friend, and mother and touched all that she cared for. Words can never express enough the love we have for someone but her obituary made me smile and was perfectly written to remember all the fun and love she had to share. You will be missed by so many Maureen and I’m so blessed to have had you come into my life as a young nurse. I love you my sweet friend and know you are now watching over us all.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

If it wasn't for her and Tim, I wouldn't be where I am in my current job. They talked me into getting into Healthcare and have been ever since. Many many thanks. One day while I was at work at Safeway, I saw her husband Frank drive by. And I thought Maureen was in the car. I asked Tim where her mom was, but it wasn't her in the car. It was their dog Sheeba sitting in the front seat. All I saw was the gray hair lol

Maureen was such a sweet lady. She was one of many nurses that convinced me to go to nursing school. She was a great nurse and a genuinely loving person. She will be missed. Prayers for the family.
Bettie Barry left a message on May 26, 2023:
I worked along side of Maureen for several years, she was an absolute delight to be around. The compassion she demonstrated for her patients was a step above. She would spend endless hours talking, teaching, and at times sharing some of her lunch with someone less fortunate than she. As a Nurse, she was one a God send to any patient that had the privilege to meet her; Valley Health was lucky to have her to serve the patients in the area! She will be missed by many!
