In addition to being longtime Women’s Club members,
Beaver and Cooper were very involved in the community. Bicknell said
both women really loved working on programs for our veterans and
active service members, especially Operation Santa. They also loved
the club’s historic building.
Current Women’s Club officer Nancy Wrage is the
daughter of Mary Cooper.
Funding for the benches came from memorial funds for Cooper and
Beaver. These benches will provide a good way to honor these special
ladies for many years to come.
