My sweet momma 💔
My Brother in Law will be here Thursday to take care of the doggies. I will be out till later that night.
Rachelle Dawn Cooper, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in Fork, South Carolina, surrounded by her family. The family will receive friends Wednesday, October 7 from 6:00-8:00 PM. Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 PM at Richardson Funeral Home on Thursday, October 8, 2026. Burial will follow at Palmetto Memorial Gardens where she will be laid to rest beside her husband.
Born in Redlands, California, she eventually made South Carolina her home, where she built a life centered around the people who meant the most to her. She was a woman whose greatest joy and purpose came from taking care of her family.
Most importantly, she was a mother. She dedicated her life to raising and caring for her children, always putting their needs before her own. Her love, strength, and sacrifices helped shape the people they became. She was a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother who treasured every moment spent with them.
Her home was a place where her family could always find love, comfort, and someone who would be there when they needed her. She cared for her children and grandchildren in countless ways, giving her time, her heart, and everything she had to make sure they were taken care of.
She will be remembered for the love she gave, the family she brought together, and the memories she created that will live on for generations. Although her passing leaves an emptiness that can never be filled, her love and the lessons she gave her family will remain forever.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Terry C. Cooper.
She is survived by her children, Wendy Hayes (Michael) and Terrie Lyn Norton (Robert); her grandchildren, Hailey Bussard (Quinten), Cody Hayes (Paige), Hunter Norton (Kaitlynn), and Brooke Norton (Caleb); special grandson, Sevon Nichols; great-grandchildren, Oaklyn Hayes, Ellie Hayes, Noah Bussard, and Cooper Norton (Feb. 2027).
Memorials may be made to Agape Hospice, 1006 Hwy 301 N, Dillon, SC 29536.
