Faynell was born in Brownfield, Texas to R.E. "Dick" and Ima Hodges on March 22, 1936. She grew up with three sisters, Joyce Mantooth, June Thompson and Barbara Beadles. She married James "Bud" Cooper on April 12, 1952 in Lovington, New Mexico. They raised three children, Jackie Wood, Andy Cooper and Valarie Sanchez. They were blessed with four grandchildren, Kelli Worthey, Lucinda Wells, Edith McKinnon and Balta Sanchez. These blessings gave them five great grandchildren, Tyler Godfrey, Bettye Cooper, Mattlynn and Wesley Draper, Brannt McKinnon and Jonah Worthey.

Faynell's family was the most important part of her life. She prayed over and claimed the promises of God over their lives and the lives of the generations to come. She loved Jesus with all her heart. She spent significant time studying the Bible, researching and learning the Word of God. Another passion of Faynell's was health and healing through natural medicines. For 30 years, she was able to pursue this passion in her career while working at Circle W Health Food Store, and after several years there she became the store manager. During this time, she obtained a degree in naturopathic medicine. She was an avid reader and enjoyed being entwined in the plot of the story.

She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Joyce Mantooth.
Faynell is survived by her husband, James Cooper, children-Jackie Wood, Andy Cooper and wife Doris, Valarie Sanchez, grandchildren-Kelli Worthey, Lucinda Wells, Edith McKinnon, and Balta Sanchez, great grandchildren Tyler Godfrey, Bettye Cooper, Mattlynn and Wesley Draper, Brannt McKinnon and Jonah Worthey.

Faynell is abundantly loved and will be forever missed. Enjoy your glorious new life with the Lord! We are looking forward to seeing you again!
