They were married at the Register Office, Strand, London, in January 1948.[2] She had three children – Jane Gatehouse and David Gatehouse (children from a previous marriage) and Stephen Lowe (born 1953 at Hammersmith, London, UK).

She had some minor roles alongside him, particularly playing Private Godfrey's sister Dolly in some episodes of Dad's Army.

Lowe died in April 1982, and five years later she moved to his parents' cottage in Hayfield, Derbyshire, which had been vacant since his mother's death in 1981.[3] Cooper lived there until her death from stomach cancer two years later at the age of 66.[3]
