Anne Cooper Lovain: A life passionately lived

Knoxville mourns the loss of a beloved resident

Knoxville resident Anne Cooper Lovain, 64, passed away in her home. Born in Warrensburg, Missouri, to William Luther Cooper Jr. and Rachel Anne Cooper, Anne’s love for life spilled over into many areas, touching the hearts of all who knew her.

Lover of Baseball and Rock and Roll

Known for her love for baseball, Anne was an avid supporter of the Cubs. Her passion for the sport was infectious, bringing joy and excitement to those around her. She also held a keen interest in rock and roll music and had attended numerous concerts. Such was her zest for life.

Apart from this, she also cherished vacationing at the beach and dancing – her favourite stage being her kitchen. The rhythm of life that lived in her was palpable in all aspects of her life.

A Family-Centric Woman

However, the greatest pride in her life was her family. Especially her grandchildren, Cooper and Lily Lawson. She loved to share pictures and stories of them with her friends. This grandmother’s love was a testament to her family-centred character.

At the time of her passing, Anne was serving as the assistant credit manager at Stowers Machinery Corporation in Knoxville. Her contribution to the organisation is deeply appreciated.
