Cornelia Dozier Cooper
The Cooper name has been one of an enduring legacy in Pulaski County â and Cornelia Dozier Cooper is as much a part of that as anyone else in her family.
Her husband, Richard Cooper, was a longtime businessman in the community. Her brother-in-law, John Sherman Cooper, was the accomplished U.S. Senator whose image stands on the town square.
But Cornelia Dozier Cooper has managed to leave her own mark as well, in a lasting and important way, as a philanthropist, ardent supporter of the arts, and tireless worker for the betterment of Pulaski County.
