Eleanore E. Ellie Kopp

Eleanore “Ellie” Kopp, 88, of Oregon, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2019 at Gardens of St. Francis. Our loss today was a great gain for the heavens. An angel slipped through our fingers to return home. A very special wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, this “very sweet lady” was a woman of great morals and a faithful Catholic. Ellie was born on March 13, 1931 to Stephen and Magdalina (Karel) Kalas in Oregon, Ohio. She was employed by the Oregon Board of Education as a cook. She was completely devoted to her husband of 51 years, Warren Kopp, Sr., her family and church, serving as a Eucharistic Minister and greeter at St. Ignatius in Oregon. She enjoyed crafting, stitching and Hungarian embroidery. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Barbara (Dave) Bazzy; eight-grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren and many devoted family and friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Warren Sr.; her parents; and children, Janet Lanham, Laura Carlson and Warren “Buddy” Kopp, Jr. Friends will be received on Friday, May 31, 2019 from 2:00-8:00 p.m. at the Hoeflinger-Shank Funeral Home, 3500 Navarre Ave. Oregon, Ohio (419-691-6768). A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, 212 N. Stadium Rd. Oregon, Ohio. Burial will follow at St. Ignatius Cemetery.
