Elisa Ra Cuypers, age 66, passed away December 11, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born in Salt Lake City February 5, 1950 to Jack Kopolovic and Bonnie Bessie Voelker. Married Jacques August Cuypers in New York City.

Elisa was incredibly well-read, caring, kind, and selfless to a fault. She loved old movies, Doris Day and Peter O'Tooele. She was clever, witty, with a sharp tongue at times, but always in jest. She had golden angel hair and a beautiful smile. She was a wonderful wife and mother.

"God made a wonderful mother, a mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine, and He molded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars, in her cheeks fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother, and He gave that dear mother to me."

~ Patrick O'Reilly

Elisa is survived by her husband, Jacques Cuypers and daughter, Tiffany Crawley. She was preceded in death by her mother, Bonnie Bessie Voelker.
