Marylou Kopchak of Dingmans Ferry, Pa., entered heaven on Monday, July 6, 2020. She was 76.
She was born on Feb. 14, 1944, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and in 1973 moved to Monroe, N.Y. There she devotedly raised her two sons, Michael and Stephen, and daughter, Christine, along with her sister’s daughter, Denise, and her mother who lived with her. She tirelessly worked many jobs to this, so that they were all taken care of.
