Eva Antje Aaltje Anjewierden Copier peacefully left this life with family by her side on Wednesday February 12, 2020 at her home in Taylorsville, Utah. She was born on December 19, 1928 in Groningen, Netherlands to Aaltje Van Komen and Dirk Anjewierden. She was later sealed to Dirk and Jannigje Anjewierden in the Salt Lake Temple.
Raised in the Netherlands, she attended school; learned cooking, sewing, typing, and household skills; and enjoyed various activities with her siblings—including dance lessons. In 1947, at eighteen years of age, she—along with her six-year-old brother, John—immigrated to the United States. Six months later, her sweetheart Floris came to America where they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. They were married seventy-one years. Their love story was one that began across an ocean and has continued beyond any earthly barriers. Floris spoke often of his eternal love for his sweetheart, Eva. Mother of ten children, her passion in life was her family. She loved them deeply and was best known for her role as a loving “Oma.”
She is survived by sons Floris (JoAnn) Copier, Randall (Kaye) Copier, Michael Copier, Eldon (Debbie) Copier, Ken (Char) Copier, and Dale (LaDean) Copier; daughters Linda (Lee) Llewellyn and Sharon (Cameron) Clukey; daughter-in-law Sheri Copier and son-in-law Mike Mallory; 32 grandchildren and 80+ great grandchildren; siblings John (Freda) Anjewierden, Amy (Michael) Moore, Lorna (Leroy) Franke, David (Laura) Anjewierden, Dwight (Leslie) Anjewierden, Penny (Ashby) Anjewierden, as well as many other extended family members. Preceded in death by husband Floris Copier, daughter Marian Mallory, son John Copier, daughter-in-law Muriel Copier, 3 infant grandsons, her parents, and 6 siblings.Service Information
