Jethro Cooper, 100, of Pamplico, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 9, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.

Born on January 12, 1925 in Hannah, he was the son of the late Charlie and Ella Cooper.  Jethro was a lifelong resident of the community.  He was a devout member of New Prospect Free Will Baptist Church, where he served with faith and dedication for many years.

A true outdoorsman, Jethro loved hunting, fishing, and spending time in nature.  He was also a dedicated farmer and, for 39 years, owned and operated Cooper's Grocery, becoming a fixture in the Hannah community.  Above all, Jethro was a family man, deeply committed to his loved ones and to his community.  He and his beloved wife, Edna M.

Jethro was preceded in death by his parents, wife, Edna M. (Turner) Cooper; his son, Harry Cooper; grandson, Lewy Cooper; daughter-in-law, Myrtle Lee Cooper; son-in-law, Harrell Cox; four brothers, and three sisters.

He is survived by his children:  Wayne Cooper, Larry Cooper, Brenda Cox, Becky (James) Bellflowers, and Barry (Lisa) Cooper; and his daughter-in-law, Tammy Cooper.  He also leaves behind 11 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom will forever cherish his memory.
