Joanna Karen Cooper (Peters), 57, of Stanford, peacefully passed into eternity at her home on Saturday, October 18th surrounded by her loved ones. She was born on September 22, 1968, in Cincinnati, Ohio to the late Joseph Peters and Jane (Blevins) Peters, both of whom she has joyfully reunited with in heaven.

Joanna was the personification of unconditional love and generosity. Her kindness and compassion were endlessly bestowed upon family, friends, strangers and critters alike. She was known to offer a warm meal, a place to stay, a helping hand, a kind word or hug, or take in a stray without hesitation – and did so without judgment, an expectation of reciprocation, or praise. She doled out motherly-love to us all, and we are each blessed to carry on her legacy.

Those left to celebrate her life are her life-partner, Richard Asberry, her daughters, Mikaila (Antonio) Cooper & Amber Cooper, her sisters, Shannan Ho**er & Lisa (Rick) Garriques, her brother Darrin (Sandy) Peters, grandsons Brantley Snow, Joseph Cooper, and Kashton Thompson, and granddaughters Serenity Hurt and Clara Faye Paige, as well as a host of extended family and friends – all of whom will miss her dearly.

Services for Joanna will be held on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025, at Spurlin Funeral Home in Stanford, beginning with visitation at 4 pm, until the time of the funeral service at 6 pm.

In Loving Memory of Gwendolyn Gosparlin

August 20, 1924 – October 18, 2025

With profound love and cherished memories, the family of Gwendolyn Gosparlin announces her peaceful passing on October 18, 2025, at her home in Stanford, Kentucky, after living a truly blessed 101 years.

Born on August 20, 1924, in Hazard, Kentucky, Gwendolyn’s journey through life was one of grace, strength, and unwavering love. In her early years, she moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she met the love of her life, Daniel Gosparlin. Together, they built a beautiful life and shared nearly 50 wonderful years in Chicago before settling in Stanford in 1994 to enjoy a well-earned and peaceful retirement.

Gwendolyn’s warmth and vibrant spirit shone brightly in all she did. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose love for her family knew no bounds. She was an inspiring woman — a homemaker whose hands were never still, always busy with cooking, gardening, sewing, quilting, or preparing for the next family gathering. She also enjoyed fishing, traveling, and spending her days “yard-saling” and bargain hunting — she had an incredible knack for finding treasures wherever she went, always chasing the next great deal or special sale.

Her kindness, wisdom, and stories of days gone by touched the hearts of all who knew her. Gwendolyn lived a full and happy life, always finding beauty in the little things and maintaining her sharp mind and loving heart until the very end. To know her was to truly love her.

She leaves behind her beloved daughter Patricia Buchwald (Robert); three adoring grandchildren Mark Hipps (Angela), Jason Hipps, and Alacyn Lynn (Skylar); two cherished great-grandchildren Tiffany Hipps and Natalie Hipps; one dear sister Ada Peavey; and countless nieces, nephews, and close friends who will miss her deeply.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Daniel Gosparlin; her parents Rufus and Sara Hammons; sisters Nevada Komatsu, Madge Whitaker, Maude Woods, and Martha Hammons; brothers Art, Arnold, Arlis, Robert, Norvel, and Lester Hammons.

Gwendolyn’s favorite color was purple, a perfect reflection of her regal grace, creativity, and depth of spirit. Her life was a masterpiece of love, compassion, and faith — and her legacy will continue to shine in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

Rest peacefully, dear Gwendolyn. Your love, laughter, and light will forever live on in your family’s hearts.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Spurlin Funeral Home in Stanford, KY. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Spurlin Funeral Home with Bro. Jeffrey Carpenter officiating. Burial will follow at Buffalo Springs Cemetery in Stanford.

Active Pallbearers are Robert Buchwald, Mark Hipps, Nathan Lentz, Skylar Lynn, Garrett Hicks, Ezekiel Gilliam and Clint Setser.
