Family Psychologist
j
anet Etta (Brown) Cooperstock,
of Boulder, Colo., died peace-
fully in the early morning of
Sept. 20, 2014.
A native of Minneapolis, Janet was
born Feb. 4, 1936, daughter of Margaret
Lemesh and Alec Brown and sister of
Ethel and Howard. She attended North
High School.
In 1954, Janet met the love of her life
Willard "Bill" Cooperstock of St. Paul.
The two were married on June 17, 1956,
and raised four children: Andrew, Mark,
and Carrie Cooperstock, and Alan Lesser,
Ethel's son.
Janet returned to school after the birth
of her last child, attending the University
of Iowa and Winthrop College, in Rock
Hill, S.C., where she earned a graduate
degree in psychology. A talented school
psychologist, she went to work for the
York, S.C., public schools and subse-

Upon moving to Michigan in 1990,
Janet went into family practice until
her retirement in 2012. Janet was an
enthusiastic and early member of Temple
Shir Shalom in West Bloomfield, where
she was a regular at services and the
Saturday tish group. She enjoyed many
close friendships from temple, especially
with the rabbis and with Cantor Penny
Steyer.
Janet and Bill opened their home for
countless holiday meals with friends,
music and laughter — and she was espe-
cially famous for her delicious chicken
soup. Janet was known for her great
compassion, and she will be missed by
so many.

murder — and as the evidence that we

was also behind that attack:' he said.
Netanyahu, who thanked the security
services for their efforts, said he spoke to
the families of the murdered teens in the

their pain or bring the boys back.
