OBITUARIES
Cornelia Moore Cooper Borders
WARNER ROBINS - Cornelia Moore Cooper (Borders
passed away on November 2, 2008, in Macon following a brief
illness. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday,
November 5, 2008 at First United Methodist Church of Warner
Robins, followed by interment at Rest Haven Cemetery in
Washington, Georgia at 4 p.m.
Mrs. Borders was born in Wilkes County, the daughter of:
Austin Henry Moore, Sr. and Nannie Quin Moore of Rayle,:
Georgia. She attended public schools in Wilkes County:
and graduated from Anderson College in South Carolina.'
Subsequently, she majored in Home Economics at Georgia
State College for Women in Milledgeville where she also stud
ied voice. Following her graduation from Anderson College, she
became the clfeirperson of its Home Economics Department.
During World War II she married Morris
Turner Cooper and the young couple relocat
ed to the new military town of Warner Robins.
They were married twenty-nine years when
she was widowed.
As a bride, she was hired in 1945 by
the Houston County Board of Education
and instituted the music program at Warner
Robins High School in its first year of opera
tion. For the next three decades, she taught
Home Economics, Chorus, Economics and
Family Relations both at Warner Robins High
and Rumble Junior High Schools. She was a charter member
of the Alpha Lambda Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. “Mrs.
Cooper” was a popular and caring teacher who attended many
reunions to visit with her former students. In retirement, she
was an active member of the Retired Teachers Association.
In 1976, she married Andrew C. Borders. They enjoyed their
retirement by traveling abroad, touring North America by motor
home, and spending winters in Florida and summers at Lake
Burton tn North Georgia. The couple enjoyed their involvement
with church and community activities and had an active social
life.
One of the.first members of the congregation at First United
Methodist Church in Warner Robins, Mrs. Borders was a
soprano soloist, choir member, 6th grade Sunday School
teacher and sat on various committees. In recent years, she
played the piano for the Wesley Sunday School class while
husband Andy often led the singing.
Cornelia Borders never met a stranger and was one of
those rare individuals who could put a person at ease Irom the
moment they met. Always interested in people, she reveled in
their accomplishments and milestones. Anyone needing any
thing could count on Cornelia's help.
Her sunny disposition and positive outlook on life drew
people to her; the care and concern she had for them kept
them her friends for life. Always the ideal Southern lady, she
influenced her students to pursue their dreams and earned
their love and devotion. After more than eighty years of putting
her home economics skills to use, one would have to measure
in miles the amount of yarn she used in knitting baby blankets,
cabled sweaters and slippers.
Mrs. Borders was predeceased by her first husband,
Morris Turner Cooper and her brother, Austin Henry Moore,
Jr. Treasuring her memory are her husband Andrew C.
Borders; son, Robert M Cooper (Joanne). Bonaire; grandson,
Rob Cooper (Joy), Warner Robins; great-granddaughter,
Josephine Eliza Cooper, Warner Robins; brother. Lctils Quin
Moore (Caroline), Florida; stepson, A. Christopher Borders
(Patricia), Woodstock; several nieces and nephews.

donations be made to First United Methodist Church. 205 N.
Davis Drive, Warner Robins GA 31093 or to the charity of the
.donor's choice.
