She was united in marriage to David Copp. Marla also leaves behind a step-son Damon Copp and her beloved granddaughter Maria Copp whom she and David raised.

I am so so sad to learn of the passing of Marla. She was a dear friend for a long time. We will pray for her family to get through this difficult time.
Much love,

Go rest High on that mountain my friend. ❤
My heart is heavy for her birth family. She was the youngest of nine beautiful children. I knew Marla from the time she was a very wee thing so petite and always sweet. I never knew her married family. I will keep all in my prayers. I’m so very, very sorry for the family’s great loss. May you be given a peace that lets you know she’s smiling upon you. With much love, Iris Cripe-Eng
So sad to hear of Marlas passing! Lots of childhood memories with Marla and her brothers. My mom so enjoyed having the family as neighbors. Prayers to the entire family.
