Elizabeth Kopchik Soltis, of Huntington, age 99 passed away five months short of her 100th birthday. She passed away peacefully of natural causes on Wednesday, December 09, 2015 in Lord Chamberlain Health Center, Stratford with her loving family and her nurse by her side. She was the beloved wife of the late Michael Soltis, a veteran of WWII and was married blissfully for 62 years. Elizabeth, a retired employee of Remington Arms was employed during WWII as an ammunition inspector. She was born in Granville, NY to the late Peter and Anna (Mizicko) Kopchik and she was a long time resident of Trumbull and Huntington. She was a member of the Trumbull Seniors, of the PTA in Trumbull and a frequent volunteer at St John's the Baptist Russian Orthodox church. Elizabeth traveled extensively with her husband on senior bus trips throughout the country. Later in life, Elizabeth enjoyed going to her daughter's summer residence in Portsmouth, RI, where she thoroughly enjoyed the Newport polo matches and kite festivals. Her true love was being a homemaker caring for her home, and making home cooked meals for her husband and daughter. Elizabeth was the best mother a child could ever have. She also enjoyed time spent with her beloved cats, Tigger Boy and MaMa Cat. Survivors include her devoted daughter, Cynthia Scanlon of Huntington, James Cantwell III who was like the son she never had, a special family friend, Charles French the III of West Wardsboro VT, her brothers, John Kopchik and his wife Helen, and Peter Kopchik and his wife Vera all of Stratford, her niece Carole Skubas, her husband Joseph Skubas and great-nieces, Suzanne Ashworth, and Danielle Valle all of Florida, and several other nieces and nephews.
