Betty was born March 20, 1934, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late Frank and Sophie Buttry and was a lifelong area resident.

She was a graduate of East High School and dedicated her adult life to raising and caring for her family.

Mrs. Copp was a member of St. Angela Merici Church in Youngstown and cherished the community she found there. However, Betty’s greatest joy and fulfillment came from the love and companionship of her family, and she treasured every moment spent with her loved ones.

She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Her husband of 63 years, Harry A. Copp, whom she married Oct. 26, 1957, passed away April 10, 2020.

Betty’s twin sister, Phyllis Balint, and her brother, Albert Buttry also preceded Betty in death.
