Marsha Gayle Cooper - March 13, 1948 to August 24, 2026
I am heartbroken to announce the death of Marsha Cooper on August 24, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.
Marsha became an active with SIDS of Illinois, Inc. after the death of her granddaughter, Rivian. She joined the Board of Directors and was the grandparent peer support person for Illinois. Years later, she was elected President of the Board and was most recently the Immediate Past-President. She was a valued member of SIDS of Illinois, Inc. She was kind, compassionate, and generous with her time. She served on nearly every committee and took an active role. You could always count on her.
Marsha was an amazing woman whom many of us aspire to be. Several board members and myself would often say, “I need to channel my inner Marsha” when there was a tough decision to be made.
Marsha was my friend for over 25 years, and I will miss her dearly.
