Sue was born April 7, 1951 to Vyron and Ruth (McKinney) DeHaas. She returned to her Heavenly Father on May 2, 2010 after a brief battle with cancer.
Sue grew up on the family farm near Ames and graduated from Ames High School in 1969.
She married Charles Ray Cooper Jan. 16, 1971, and they were blessed with three children, Toni, Ray and Elizabeth. Sue began working after being widowed in 1977 and was a dedicated employee for Ames Texaco, Bow Valley Resources, RainSoft of Enid, Kmart, The US Census and Southwest Cupid. She was a member of Ames Christian Church, where she shared her musical gift as organist and pianist for many years. She also worked with the youth and was choir director for a while. Her passion was music, but she also enjoyed gardening, sewing and crocheting. She had a tender and giving heart for family, friends and animals as well.
In 2000 she started working with CCA at Diamondback Correctional Facility in Watonga and was inspired to continue her education, and received her bachelor's degree in 2005 in criminal justice. She then transferred to CCA's Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing. Her love and devotion to her career resulted in numerous employee recognition awards throughout her 10 years at CCA.
