Anna Coppola Esler's Obituary
Anna Coppola Esler, age 67, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2025. Born in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy, Anna carried the warmth, strength, and deep-rooted traditions of her homeland with her throughout her life. She was the beloved daughter of the late Giuseppe Coppola and Giuseppina Coppola, who instilled in her a strong sense of family and love.
Anna married the love of her life, John Robert Elser, on October 31, 1998. Together they shared years filled with devotion and companionship until his passing on June 3, 2025. Though her heart carried the weight of this loss, she remained a pillar of love for her family.
She survived by her sons, Joseph Harrington and Michael Harrington, and her cherished granddaughter, Freya Aria Harrington, who was truly the light of her life. Anna's bond with Freya was tender and profound, a love that brought her endless joy and pride.
Anna found happiness in life's simple and beautiful moments. She loved gathering with family and friends, crocheting, tending to her garden, and traveling back to her beloved Italy. Cruises were among her greatest pleasures, as she delighted in the peaceful rhythm of the sea and the adventure of new horizons.
Her final journey has now begun, as she leaves this world to join her beloved John and the family who awaited her in eternal peace.
Though she has departed from this earthly life, her legacy of love lives on in every memory, every shared laugh, and every stitch of warmth she left behind.
