Charlotte Jean Kopay, born June 11, 1949, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her beloved husband, her three sons, and her daughter-in-law, Caryn.
Charlotte was a warm, caring, kind, generous, and genuine woman whose life was centered around her faith, her family, and her friends. She had a heart for people and a special way of making those around her feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. She gave freely of herself and never hesitated to be there for someone who needed her.
Her Faith
Charlotte’s faith was a deeply important part of her life. It gave her strength, comfort, and hope, and she carried that faith with her in the way she lived—with kindness, compassion, generosity, and love for others.
Her faith remained a source of strength throughout her life, especially during the difficult times she faced. It was an important part of who she was and the foundation upon which she lived her life.
Her Family
Above all, Charlotte treasured her family. Her husband, children, grandchildren, siblings, and extended family were the greatest joys of her life. She cherished the time they spent together and the countless memories created over the years.
Her Friends
To her friends, Charlotte was a loyal and genuine friend who deeply valued the relationships she built throughout her life. She never took those relationships for granted, and the love and kindness she gave to others will remain in the memories they carry with them.
Her Legacy
Charlotte leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured in accomplishments or possessions, but in the love she gave, the lives she touched, and the family she helped build.
Her kindness, generosity, strength, faith, and unconditional love will live on through her children, grandchildren, family, and friends. The memories she created and the love she gave will remain a lasting part of the lives of everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Michael Von Kopay II; her three sons, Michael (Lisa) Kopay, Eric (Caryn) Kopay, and Marc (Michele) Kopay; and her nine grandchildren, Justin, Katie, Ryan, Carter, Caden, Hunter, Michael, Anthony, and Giuliana.
She is also survived by her siblings, Maryellen and Mark, and is preceded in death by her siblings, Bill and Bonnie.
The family is deeply grateful to everyone who has offered their love, prayers, friendship, and support during this difficult time.
Friends will be received at R. D. Copeland, Inc., 981 Brodhead Road, Moon Township on Thursday from 2 – 8 pm, where a Funeral Prayer will be held on Friday at 10:30 am, followed by a Funeral Mass in St. Margaret Mary Church, Moon Township at 11 am.
