Life Reflections

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.              Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

A time to be born: MARGARET COOPER BROCKINGTON, daughter of the late Frank Cooper, Sr. and Louise Evans Cooper was born on May 8, 1940 in Clarendon County, South Carolina. She departed her earthly life on Friday, April 19, 2024 at MUSC Black River Medical Center, Cades, South Carolina.

Margaret received her formal education in the public schools of Clarendon County.
