Isabel (Chabuca) Zarela Coppola
February 5, 1958 — July 22, 2007
Isabel (Chabuca) Zarela Coppola, 49, passed away Sunday, July 22 at 12:20 PM at Stamford Hospital. Isabel had been battling a life threatening disease for several years. She was born on February 5, 1958 in Lima, Peru.
She was a bookkeeper for Fuji Films for seven years. Isabel will be remembered for being a greatly devoted mother and wife. She had an unfailing love for her son, and enjoyed participating in all aspects of his life. Isabel loved her husband, and raved about his cooking and his protective ways. We will always remember her incredible sense of humor and how she was able to make everyone laugh and smile. She was kind and generous to a fault. Dancing and listening to music were both her ultimate passions; long live disco!
She is survived by her 8 year old son, Mario G. Coppola, III; and husband, Mario G. Coppola, Jr. She had a very special relationship with her mother, Zarela Lara. Together they shared close times and faced both good and bad together. Isabel (Chabuca) has countless friends, too numerous to mention. If we had the Stamford white pages to fill, it would not be enough. Although special mention needs to be made; Renee Nieto, was a true friend. Words cannot describe the love and respect they had for each other. She is also survived by her brother, Alvaro Iparrauirre of Stamford; and two aunts, Maria Lara and Tina Lara both of Stamford.
And lastly, Isabel will also be remembered for her valiant fight and the courage she had in facing this disease.
Chabuca...........
We held on tight with each new day.
No one dared to think she might go away.
Her strength and spirit will forever shine
She showed us hope was always on her mind.
Another joke was always quick to assure us
that no matter what, she could endure this.
Her love for her family never did waver
her love of life she would always savor.
Today and forever we'll miss her dearly
the memories she left we'll always see clearly.
So when you think of her put a smile on your face.
She's dancing with the angels in her brand new place.
All my love forever and always your friend Renee
