Anna L. Copeland

Beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and friend passed away peacefully on April 19, 2026, surrounded by family. She lived a life centered on love, compassion, and unwavering dedication to others, and her family was always at the heart of everything she did.

Anna devoted her life to helping people. After earning her master’s degree, she became a social worker and later achieved her LISW. She cared deeply for her clients, treating them not just as patients, but as friends and family. Her passion for her work never faded-she often said she would never retire, and true to her word, she continued serving others until the very end.

Her faith in Jesus was the foundation of her life. Anna lived to serve the Lord and did so faithfully in all that she did. The light of Jesus shined through her in her kindness, her compassion, and the way she loved others so selflessly. Her faith was not only something she believed, but something she lived out daily, leaving a lasting impact on everyone she encountered.

More than anything, Anna cherished time with her family. She loved her boys and her grandchildren with her whole heart, and nothing brought her more joy than being surrounded by them. She was the heart and soul of every family gathering-planning vacations, organizing get-togethers, and creating lasting memories. She especially loved the beach, palm trees, and cruising with her family by her side.

Anna had an unforgettable laugh and a warmth that could light up any room. She was truly the glue that held her family together, and her love will continue to be felt in the lives she touched.

She is survived by her loving mother, Joan Soles; her sister, Lisa Perolis; her sons, Garrett Copeland (Morgan), Eric Copeland (Ashley), Jason Copeland (Ashley), and Justin Copeland (Lisa); and her cherished grandchildren, Brandon, Connor, Austin, Carly, Hannah, Levi, Izzy, and Natalie. She also held a special place in her heart for Blake Hartung (Brittany) and David Stuck (Abbey), whom she considered her “fifth and sixth sons.” She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Anna’s love, laughter, and faithful spirit will be deeply missed, but her legacy lives on in the family she adored and the countless lives she helped. We take comfort in knowing she is at peace and reunited with loved ones in the presence of the Lord.”
