It has now been over a year since Wanda's passing and she is still missed and thought of daily.  We know she is in a greater place, her family and loved ones are still in sorrow.  Lord, watch over them and I am forever thankful for the the honor of knowing her and her family.

Mrs. Kopp you always shared your beautful smile and warm greeting with all of us.  We love you and will miss you,dear neighbor and friend.

Wanda was the person everyone wants to have as a friend.  She was loved very much be her family as well as her friends. She will be missed for many years to come...

Hard to believe she's gone. Aunt Wanda was one of a kind. She made every person lucky enough to know her feel special. So many wonderful memories. What a beautiful soul. So spiritual, yet bawdy at the same time! A rare combination that made her so unique. A phenomenal memory, the gift of gab, the ability to see the good side of every situation and the ultimate prayer warrior. So very blessed to be your niece. Thank you Kopp family for sharing her with all of us. A generation gone, but never, ever forgotten. Much love, Mary Claire :-)

Wanda was a beautiful person inside and out with a very special family. Always a joy to be around, she will be thought of daily, always on mind and forever in our hearts.  I will always cherish the memories of this loving lady. My thoughts and prayers are with the family because we all know Wanda is  with God and her late husband Charles together in peace.

My grandparents lived next door to the Kopp family on Virginia Avenue and I spent many summer days of my childhood there, with Linda as my playmate.  Wanda always, always had a smile on her face and welcoming arms. I am pleased to know she had a long life surrounded by a loving family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today.

Aunt Wanda was a true inspiration to us all on how embrace life and find joy in life's moments.  She was a great lady!

Mrs. Kopp was the best !  I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to grow up on Virginia Ave and have her and the entire Kopp family as dear neighbors!  Those were some of the best yrs of my life and what wonderfful memories I hold near and dear!  My sympathy to Charlise, Wanda, Linda, Schatzi, and Jeannie.

Char, Wanda, Linda, Charlie, Jeanne- Aunt Wanda will be missed each and every day.  I remember as a child I would wait for her birthday card with my piece of gum.  She never forgot a birthday.  She even remembered my kids' birthdays.  She would brighten my day when I would sit and listen to her stories of grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, and uncle Charlie.  I'm sure she is sharing stories about us with them right now.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Grandma was proof that material things aren't necessary to be happy. She spread so much joy with a smile and a stick of gum. To know her was to love her!  We will miss her so, but I can't help but smile every time I think of her.

Hope I was able to ease Wanda's entry into the Lord's arms, as well as help you say farewell.

Jeanne and family....Wanda was a true inspiration to all who were blessed.to meet her. Her advice helped me so so much when my own Mom passed. Last Christmas she spoke to me about how much she looked forward to seeing your Dad again...what a happy and long awaited reunion.

Char, Wanda, Linda, Charlie, Jeanne-
Thank you for sharing Grandma Kopp with our family.  She has a loving, caring family who gave her a wonderful, long life.  Love and prayers for all of you.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

To The Kopp Family,

You have lost a true treasure. Wanda was a great friend to my parents, Ruth & Dinty Moore. I'm sure she was greeted with open arms, a bowl of homemade soup and I don't doubt that my Father handed her a Budweiser. Then I'm guessing Tony pulled a quarter from behind her ear! Happy reunion for those guys. I was blessed to have dinner with her and Char and what wonderful memories it brought back of Wanda and my parents. Rest assured that you all have a very special angel up there. It brings a smile to my face to look at her picture. Thanks for always being so nice to me....but she was always nice to everyone!

So sorry for your loss. What a happy,positive woman- and what a blessing to have her here with you to know and love 37 great grandchildren!!  Our condolences,

She was a grandma to all she met and was loved and cherished by my family.  First time I met her (more than 35 years ago), she handed me a piece of gum to give to my daughter. She was a sweetie and we will miss her.

Rick and Mary

she always saw the good in people and she always had a smile on her face.  
She will be dearly missed.
