CAROLYN KOPP Obituary

Carolyn Kay (Williams) Kopp, of Kansas City, MO, passed, surrounded by her family, to be with our Heavenly Father, Friday, September 20, 2013, at the age of 68, in Phoenix, AZ. Carolyn was born December 2, 1944, the daughter of Charles Kenneth 'CK' and Laura Mae Williams, in the small rural town of Elgin, Kansas. After the passing of her beloved father, Carolyn and her mother moved to Kansas City where she met and married her 'High School Sweetheart' Earl E. 'Skip' Kopp. Of that union she became the proud mother of four; Scott, Kenneth (deceased), Kelly and Chris. As a passionate cook, gardener and patron of the arts, she always sought what was most beautiful in this world. It always gave her great joy to share these discoveries with others, most of all with her beloved family. She was loved by all who met her and lived her life for those she loved. She is survived by her husband Skip, son Scott Kopp, daughter Kelly Kopp Pasquan, son Chris Kopp, grandsons Stephen Pasquan and Hunter Pasquan. She is also survived by her sister Gloria Beuoy and countless beloved friends and family.

Skip and Kelly,
It was such a pleasure to meet y'all. Carolyn will forever be in my heart and memory-you all will, really. Such a special family. You all have reminded me how real and tangible hope is. I remember my final conversation with Carolyn we talked for over an hour about recepies. We talked about our cooking techniques, a pinch of this and a dash of that. She is a true inspiration of what a fighter is. Kelly the love that you two shared..to witness that was breathtaking. I am so glad that you were able to spend such intimate and personal time with your sweet sweet mother and that I was able to just witness it for a bit. Thank you for letting me just a small small part of your world.
