This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Sandy Kopan who was born on May 16, 1953 and passed away on March 15, 2011.

Leave a tributeBecca and I are so said to hear the news. Sandy was great to me, she took me in when I had no other place to stay, and took care of me when I worked at the flower shop. She was a wonderful, and kind person. She is loved and missed.

Trinci’s other grandmother will be sooooo missed. I’ve said it many times that ‘Sandy had the biggest heart,’ her love for family, friends and animals could not be rivaled. In the short 8 years we knew each other we had so many good times, Thanksgivings, Christmas’, Trinci’s Birth-Day, skiing, floating and much, much more. Sandy, you were a wonderful mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law and you made our family complete. I know you will be watching over our children and family…
My Funny Luvn Cuzn;*
It has been a long while in person but not by text or phone her last words to me are on my face book as my Ma'her auntie Janet suffers so badly in the hospital my cuzn was so sweet about comforting the hurt inside from so far yet when talked felt like she was right here w/me calming me down... she has always accepted me loved me from no matter how far the distance from New York, Montana or where ever she or I were she gave some kind of call or info, to check in on us over here...her caring lovable spirit embraced me always when we talked she was strong minded good spirited happy and one of my favs...I know her most truest love of life was her daughter Dayna, loyalty to her Ma Ida Kopan, and recently her proudest lil bundle of joy her grandbaby girl Trinci Blue! I know Sandy was always busy, a hard worker, loved life full of life and made lasting impressions on everyone that met her she was so beautiful inside and out ... a true gem the Lord has called home that this world could never meet another one like this beautiful cuzn of mine...I luv U so much girl hugs to Lisa and Uncle Norm and the rest of the tribe we lost in our family see yah when I get there In Jesus Love always R.I.P Sandy! I will miss your calls and text and Loving talks!
