Obituary

Etolia "Tody" Kopczynski, 92 of Tulsa, Oklahoma went to be with the Lord on May 8, 2025.  She had spent the last 5 years in the Memory Care Unit at St. Simeons Senior Living.  Tody was born on December 20, 1932 in Kinlock, OK, to John and Lizzie Simmons.  Tody was raised in Madill, OK, graduating from Madill High School in 1950.  She married Wink Kopczynski Sr. on May 8, 1954.  Tody was a devoted and supportive wife living mostly in Texas and Oklahoma, always surrounded by many friends and family and loved to have a good time.  She loved nothing more than having everyone together showing her love by cooking all of our favorite foods, laughing and playing a game of dominoes.  Later in life, Tody could be found at St. Simeons roaming the halls to visit with everyone.  She was truly loved by everyone she encountered.  Tody rejoined the love of her life on the actual day of their 71st wedding anniversary.

Tody was preceded in death by her husband, Wink Kopczynski, Sr., Sister Nowanna Litterell, and Grandson Taylor Smith.

She is survived by her 3 children: Dianne K. Smith (E.R) of Tulsa, OK., Wink Kopczynski, Jr. (Rachel) of Tulsa, OK., and Kelly K Bonelli (Ed) of Palm Coast, FL.  She has 6 grandchildren: Brian Johnson (Kylee) of Verdigris, OK., Brett Hagar of Palm Coast, FL., Crystal Holl Stoltz of Indianapolis, IN., Wink Kopczynski, III (Hannah) of Tulsa, OK., Kameron Kopczynski of Tulsa, OK., Kassidy Kopczynski Edwards (Cole) of Sanger, TX. She also has 5 great grandchildren: Parker and Lily Johnson, Grace and Wink Kopczynski IV, and Cason Edwards.  She has one surviving sister, Johnnie Weaver of Tucson, Arizona.  We would like to thank the amazing staff at St Simeons for loving Tody and giving her the best life possible.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St Simeons Senior Living Center, Tulsa, OK.
