With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Abbey Medcalf Cooler, a beloved wife, mother, and friend, who tragically lost her life in a car accident in Georgia.
Abbey’s passing has left her family, friends, and the entire community heartbroken, grappling with the loss of a woman whose presence brought warmth, light, and unwavering love to everyone around her.
Abbey was known for her infectious joy and magnetic spirit. She had a bubbly personality that could light up a room, and a kindness that made everyone feel seen and valued.
Whether you were a close friend or a passing acquaintance, Abbey had a way of making you feel welcome, included, and deeply cared for. Her hugs were legendary—always full of comfort, sincerity, and a sense of belonging.
She was a proud wife to Adam Cooler, and their love was a shining example of partnership and faith. Together, they built a life centered on love, trust, and unwavering devotion to each other and their family.
Abbey’s heart belonged most to her two beautiful daughters, whom she adored unconditionally. Her children were her world, and she poured every ounce of herself into making their lives full of love, laughter, and purpose.
Abbey was also deeply rooted in her faith and active in her church community. Her spiritual life was not just something she practiced, but something she lived with grace and conviction every day.
Whether through church events, small groups, or simply offering a shoulder to someone in need, Abbey served with humility, joy, and a heart full of Christ-like compassion.
A former cheerleader at Georgia Southwestern State University, Abbey soared high on the sidelines, and her friends remember her as a bright star full of energy and joy. “She flew high on the sidelines at GSW,” one tribute reads, “but she is flying even higher now.”
That sentiment captures the heartbreak and hope felt by those mourning her—believing she is now in eternal peace, held in the arms of the Lord she so faithfully followed.
Abbey touched countless lives through her generosity, friendship, and unwavering love. She didn’t just live—she made others feel alive, important, and cherished. Her ability to lift others with her words, her warmth, and her ever-present smile will never be forgotten.
She leaves behind a legacy of grace, strength, and selflessness that will continue to ripple through the lives she touched. As one friend beautifully shared, “We are praying for her family and know that this will be a difficult time.
But just like she lived her life with grace and a smile, we pray that the people who were lucky enough to know her will carry on the legacy she leaves behind. Till we meet again—much love.”
Abbey Medcalf Cooler’s absence will be felt deeply, but her light will never fade. Her memory will live on in her daughters, in her husband, in her church, and in all those who were blessed to know her. May she rest in eternal peace, and may her family find strength in the love and prayers that surround them during this unimaginable time.
