MARCIA COOP

JERSEYVILLE - Marcia June Coop, 60, died unexpectedly at 11:58 p.m., Sunday, July 27, 2025, at her home in Jerseyville.

She was born on September 14, 1964, in Jerseyville, one of three children born to the late Duane A. and Renelda E. “Sue” (Drainer) Bell.

Marcia grew up in rural of Kane, attending Kane Grade School and later graduating with the Class of 1982 from Jersey Community High School. Shortly after, she began what would become a remarkable 41-year career as a dedicated associate at the Jerseyville Wal-Mart, where her familiar face and warm spirit made her a beloved presence to both coworkers and customers alike.

Outside of work, Marcia found her greatest joy in being a grandma to her grandkids. Jazlynn and Leo were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them. The outdoors were her sanctuary. Whether camping beneath the stars, floating down the river, or laughing with friends at her monthly bunco nights. Nature, laughter, and family were her language of love.

Surviving are her loving companion of 25 years, Mark Hanneken of Jerseyville; two sons and a daughter-in-law, Kyle and Lesley Coop of Glen Carbon, and Kaleb Coop of Jerseyville; two cherished grandchildren, Jazlynn and Leo Coop; a brother, Ronald Bell of Kane; and a sister and brother-in-law, Terri and Derek Eardley of Jerseyville.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents, Hubert and Edna Drainer and Russell Joseph and Geneva Bell.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville, where funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m., Thursday. Burial will follow at Kane Cemetery.

Memorials may be given to the American Heart Association.
