ROCKPORT — Barbara Ellen (Cooper) Brazier, a long-time resident of Waldoboro, passed away on May 4, 2016, at the Sussman House in Rockport, with her family by her side.

Barbara was born Feb. 9, 1943, in Sedgwick, to Frank and Hazel (Haskell) Cooper. At a young age, the family relocated to Boothbay, where Barbara was educated in local schools.

Barbara was predeceased by her parents; her husband, Russell R. Brazier Sr.; her grandsons, Adam and Brandon Brazier; and her great-granddaughter, Aubrianna Ferrar. Barbara is survived by her sons, Russell R. Brazier Jr. and his wife, Faith, of Waldoboro, Jeffrey S. Brazier and his wife, Lisa, of Rockland, and Darrell K. Brazier and his wife, Amy, of Friendship; her daughter, Melinda R.
