Our beautiful mother and grandmother, Elaine Boley Kopp, passed away in her home surrounded by family on May 8, 2023, at the age of 94. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Elaine was born on December 24, 1928, in American Fork, Utah to loving parents, and was the oldest of four daughters. She embodied kindness, generosity, and a deep sense of faith that touched the lives of everyone around her. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and married her sweetheart, Junior Samuel Kopp, on May 18, 1949, in the Salt Lake Temple. She was a dedicated mother to her three children who were the pride and joy of her life. She instilled in them the values of hard work, integrity, and compassion, which have served them well throughout their lives. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will always cherish the memories of her love and affection, which will live on in their hearts forever.

Elaine spent 31 years working at JC Penney, where she earned a reputation for her hard work and dedication to customer service. She was an active member of her church and held countless callings, providing service to those in need.

In addition to her faith and dedication to her family, Elaine had a passion for a variety of hobbies, including crocheting, knitting, gardening, candy making, and quilting. Her creative talents were evident in the beautiful afghans she crocheted, the delicious candy she made every Christmas, and the quilts she created, all of which she shared with her loved ones. Her love of gardening was evident in the beautiful flowers cultivated in her yard. Elaine loved watching sporting events and she and Sam were avid bowlers and golfers.

Elaine's passing marks the end of an era, but her legacy will continue to inspire those who knew her. Her unwavering faith and commitment to her family and will remain an inspiration to all. Her presence will be sorely missed, but the memories of her kindness, love, and generosity will be cherished forever.
