Lokelani Julia Wells Cooper, known to her family as Lola, died yesterday in Windenburg after living a long and full life.
Lola Wells was born in Brindleton Bay, the second child and second daughter of Makoa and Eliana Wells. She was an avid runner, talented basketball player, and world traveler. She also enjoyed anything that kept her outdoors, including hiking, swimming, and camping in Granite Falls.
Lola worked for many years as an interpreter and translator, living in Tomarang, San Myshuno, Sulani, and Mt. Komorebi, where she made numerous friends and had countless adventures. While in Mt. Komorebi, she married Cameron Cooper, a man she initially encountered when they kissed on New Year's Eve in San Myshuno.
After the birth of their first child, Cameron and Lola moved into her childhood home in Brindleton Bay, where they raised four children. When their nest was finally empty, the couple returned to Mt. Komorebi, where they lived until Cameron passed away of old age.
In elderhood, Lola married her high school sweetheart, Henry Campbell, a widower. When he passed, Lola moved into her youngest daughter's home in Windenburg, where she enjoyed knitting and watching K-dramas.
Lola Wells Cooper is survived by three children, Coco Nguyen, Jhai Cooper, and Zuri Yamamoto; eight granddaughters, Caimile Adomako, Giselle Cooper Greenburg, Tori Nguyen, Paulina Nguyen, Charley Cooper, Nina Nguyen, Ashlie Cooper, and Brandie Brown; one grand-niece, Paola Wells; and five great grandchildren, Brenna Greenburg, Lilah Greenburg, Olivia Greenburg, Etta Newberry, and Hendrix Newberry. She was preceded in death by her parents, Makoa and Eliana Machado Wells; her first husband, Cameron Cooper; her second husband, Henry Campbell; her sister, Soraia Fontaine Mendoza; her brother, Keone Wells; and her son, Kai Cooper.
Lola was best known for her larger than life personality, but she will be remembered for her endless generosity and unfailing kindness. Rest in peace, Lola. You were so, so loved.
