Jacqueline E. Coppa
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Jacqueline E. (Bouley) Coppa, 87 years young, went to the light and to her new home on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021, while surrounded by her family.
Born in Jewett City, Conn., on June 12, 1933, Jackie was the oldest daughter of the late Omer and Beatrice (Jolicoeur) Bouley. The family moved to Torrington, Conn., where Jackie would become a lifelong resident, and where she met and married the love of her life, Charles F. Coppa, who predeceased her in July of 2000.
Along with being a very involved mom, Jackie worked at Blake Motor Lines, Stars Department Store and the dental office of Dr. Garbus in Torrington, but it was her job working at the Connecticut State Medical Examiner’s Office in Farmington, Conn., which brought her much fulfillment and much pride. Here she worked until her retirement.
