Bagan life in St. Louis and sometime around age 2-3 I was left in Southeast Missouri by my Aunt dessie Mae Copeland Brummett. My Grandparents, Jesse Taylpr Copeland and step-grandmothr, Georgie raised me until I was 5 when I was taken to live with my mother, Laverne (Minnie Laverne Copeland)and her husband, Oscar Raymond Ledbetter and my half sister, Brenda Ramone Hopper.
I lived in St. Louis and went to the St. Louis Public Shools until I graduated 12th grade from O'Fallon Technical H.S.
I worked at Southwestern Bell Telephone and married Michael Dennis Cook in 1969. We had two children: Sean Michael Cook (1971)and Scott Bradley Cook (1977). WE divorced in 1989 and I now reside in Cahokia Il where we and I raised our sons.
I worked at many retail and office jobs and my last job was at the St. Louis Gateway Arch/Jefferson National Memorial as a historical retail reenactment. I retired disabled in 2007.
