Half a century later, Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she
devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become
the organization"s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior
volunteers in the nation selected and invited Washington D.C. to receive the award.
"She was the main person who helped us make that program grow," said Mike Doody, former director of
the Food Bank. "She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and
stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart." People knew her as "Grandma" because of her selflessness
and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. "She reminded people of their Grandma." Doody said.
As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the
Food Bank provided her with groceries. "She devoted her life to giving back," said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn"t unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. "She would give people
food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car," Cooper said.

minutes, all seats were 6 . The driver got behind the wheel and started the engine. The bus conductor collected
tickets and began asking us where we were 7 . When he came to the old man"s seat, he became 8 and asked

sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others!
