ROCKY MOUNT - Nancy Cooper Langley, age 88, passed away on Friday, December 4, 2020. Born in Nash County, NC on August 29, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Dewey Lee Cooper and Sarah Lillian Cooper. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Albert Jason Langley; her three brothers, Dewey Lee, Jr., James McLean, and Garland Wayne Cooper; and two sisters, Aileen Cooper Williams and Betty Lou Cooper Joyner.
A woman of tremendous faith and love for God, Nancy was a charter member of Northside Community Church where she enjoyed fellowship for many years. She felt blessed throughout her life for her family and the many blessings she incurred. A country girl at heart, Nancy learned early on in life how to cook, and a fabulous cook she became, especially when it came to her fried chicken, potato salad, and vegetable soup. Blessed with a warming spirit and personality, she was one to always make everyone feel welcomed and at home. A loving and nurturing mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, a caring sister and friend to many, Nancy's imprint on those around her will forever live on.
