Marriage Contested By Heirs
KENTUCKY...
"Till death do us part" came sooner rather than later in Denton Cooper's second marriage to Izetta Johnson. Cooper, 59, had esophageal cancer and was lying on his deathbed on June 10, 2009, when he remarried Johnson, his second wife. A couple of hours after a preacher performed the ceremony, Cooper unable to speak because of the cancer died. Cooper's three daughters by his first wife want a judge to declare the marriage to Johnson void and to remove her as administrator of his estate. The daughters Crystal Mays, Shena Reece and Cassie Taulbee, all of Lee County argue that the marriage never took place because the formal requirements for a license and solemnization were not met.
