Ada Cooper Dennis, known as “Lil’ Ada”, transitioned from here to eternity on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at AdventHealth Fish Memorial in Orange City, Florida. She was born to the late James and Ada Cooper on June 25, 1942, in Macon, Georgia. Ada and her family later moved to Sanford, Florida, where she would live the rest of her days.

 Ada leaves to cherish her memory, her children: Fannie Smith, Edna June (Elijah), Annette Baker (Charles), and Teresa Parker (Jerry); nine grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and one living sister, Estella (Cooper) Williams.

She worshipped at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church under the late Reverend Dr. Frank Williams.
