Vernell Nixon departed this life on August 20, 2024. She was born to the parents of Presley George) Cooper and Annie Mae Davis, February 12, 1947.
A special salute to her stepfather Sonny Rogers. Vernell is survived by one living sibling, Robert Lee Cooper, but was preceded in transition by her parents, her three sisters, Ethel Qualls, Mildred Polk, and Betty Rusk, and her brother Peter Cooper.
Vernell was baptized an an early age, and attended New Birth Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, under the leadership of Reverend Pryor.
Vernell had a host of nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. We would be remiss not to mention her special Godson Larry (Danny) Qualls, whom she’s helped raise from birth.
Vernell was truly loved, and will be missed by all.

I am deeply saden to hear of Vern ‘s passing. She and I went to the Circus together and I had been calling her to check on her and finally went to her apartment but they wouldn’t give me any information.
