Rita Rose Cooper, age 84 of Windermere, Florida passed away Monday, January 19th, 2015 at her residence. Rita was born in New York City, NY, the daughter of the late Clarisa (Rubly) and Frank Strakele.
After
a successful career of more than thirty years as a classroom teacher, Rita
challenged herself with a brand new career. When most people are satisfied to
enjoy retirement, she chose to become a flight attendant for United Airlines
and for ten years she was based in San Francisco. Rita's proud husband, Tom,
pinned on her 'Wings' as per the photo after she successfully qualified to fly!
This new direction topped off a lifetime of international travel and
allowed her the excitement of continuing to meet new friends who shared her
interest in flying.
The funeral service was held at Dobbs Funeral Home at 10:00 am on Monday, January 26th, 2015 with Rev. Russ Donahue officiating. Rita will be interred at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida with her husband Thomas F. Cooper who preceded her in 2005.

I am sorry for your loss please accept my sincere condolences. I hope you will find your strength and comfort in Jesus promises of the earthly resurrection(:Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will have to mourn the death of a loved ever again. Revelation 21:3,4; Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort now during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
