It is with sadness I note the death of Kate Cooper (cS: Kate), on May 12, 2020. She was 75. From her obituary:
A self-described "space cadet," Katherine was a strong supporter of the U.S. space program and a member of the Apollo 1 Memorial Foundation from its beginnings.
Kate joined the collectSPACE community in December 2005 and though she only posted a few times, her passion for preserving and celebrating space history, and in particular the memory of the Apollo 1 crew, came across in her emails.

I was saddened to learn of Kate's passing, shown here with former Apollo 1 Memorial Foundation President Johnny Johnson (who died last year; photo by Bob Castro).

Kate was a fierce, loyal and powerful supporter of the Apollo 1 Memorial Foundation and I enjoyed my brief time working with her. Everything the foundation was able to accomplish was because of Kate's and Johnny's leadership.

I met Kate and Johnny in 1997 at Kennedy Space Center. When I began the Young Astronaut Program at Divine Mercy in 1999, they were both avid supporters and attended every event we were able to invite them to.

My proudest memory was the creation of the "Remember" print with photographer Andrew Cardillo that Lowell Grissom, Ed White III and Sheryl Chaffee signed in a fundraising effort.

Kate was a wonderful human being and this world is better because she lived. I extend my sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed.

I only met Kate Cooper the one time in Titusville several years back, but I will always remember her passion for — and dedication to — the Apollo 1 Memorial Foundation, and was truly saddened to read of her passing.
