Geraldine Catherine Kopp's Obituary
Geraldine "Geri" C. Kopp, of Parrish, FL passed away January 28, 2016. She was born November 18, 1935 in the Bronx, New York, to the late; Gerald J. and Emma H. Dippel McAuliffe. Geri worked as a secretary in the computer industry for many years. She and her husband, Donald, moved to Florida in 1994 from Corpus Christi, TX, but had called Poughkeepsie, NY, Atlanta, GA and Boca Raton, FL home, over the years. She enjoyed sewing and crafts, was active in her church and was a former member of the Coast Guard Auxillary. Geri's optimistic nature meant that she was always ready for the next adventure, for whatever came next in life. That perspective served her well through her years of being a wife, mother and grandmother.
Geri is survived by her husband of 58 years, Donald Kopp, of Parrish, FL, son, William (Audrey) Kopp, of Asheville, NC, daughter, Donna (Edward) McGrath, of Bradenton, FL, brother, William (Lorraine) McAuliffe, of Thiells, NY, grandchildren; Annelise Kopp, Daniel Kopp, and Nicholas McGrath, brother in law, Robert (Joan) Kopp, of Bossier City, LA, and several nieces and nephews.
