EILEEN M. COPPOLA
Eileen M. Anderson Coppola, 91, of Cheshire, formerly of North Haven, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 1, 2021, at her home with her family by her side. She was the beloved wife of 61 years to Joseph Coppola. Eileen was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts on February 23, 1930, and was the daughter of the late Thomas F. and Margaret Corcoran Anderson. She was a 1947 graduate of West Haven High School. Eileen had worked as a Pediatric Nurse and more recently as a Special Education Aide at ACES in North Haven until her retirement. But the role that she cherished most was that of wife, mother, and grandmother. Her grandkids lovingly referred to her as "Meme" and Eileen would always keep a stash of candy, chips, and ice cream sandwiches on hand for their visits! She enjoyed hosting many family gatherings at her home in North Haven and especially loved a good old-fashioned family sing-along. She made life events more fun and life itself more beautiful. Mother of Patricia Schwartz (Mark) and Karen Bogli (Todd). Grandmother of Robert Schwartz (Samantha), Jennifer Schwartz, Stephen Bogli, and Mathew Bogli. Predeceased by two sisters.
