Angela M. Copping

Angela "Angie" Maitrejean Copping, age 62, loving mother of Christopher Copping and adoring wife to husband Craig Copping, was called home in the early hours of July 8, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born January 3, 1961, in New Orleans, Louisiana to Wallace and Eleanor Maitrejean (deceased) and grew up in St. Bernard Parish in Cypress Gardens with her siblings Mark, Eleanora "Nora" Pitre, Susan “Susie” Kotteman, and Elizabeth "Liz" Blancher. Angie, from a very young age, displayed charisma and determination. She was destined to be a leader. After graduating from Andrew Jackson High School in 1979, Angie began her career with LP&L/NOPSI/Entergy and retired after 33 years of committed service. All while obtaining a successful career; Angie’s first priority was the commitment that she made to the care of her special needs son and love of her life, Christopher Copping.

Angie’s life truly reflected that which is deemed Christ Centered as she chose to be a true love message to the world. She will always be remembered as a part of the very fabric of our lives. She was a mentor and a leader in her church. She always prayed for her friends and family. Angie was always available for a lively discussion with her own distinct comments. She had a deep love for and dependence on Jesus and a sharp command of the Scriptures that was inviting. She was a strong, godly woman whose time was filled with acts of great generosity, and kindness as she humbly served a world in need. Angie also voluntarily managed First Baptist food pantry and thrift store, sang in the choir, and was a chairwoman on the board.

Please join us as we honor and Celebrate a Life Well Lived.

For those of us that she leaves behind, there is no doubt that as she entered into the arms of our heavenly father she heard those words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” One day we will join her and spend all of eternity worshiping the Lord together. “Because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence” (2 Corinthians 4:14).
