Obituary of Natalia Celeste Hilary Copeland

Natalia Celeste Hilary Copeland was born to Quentin Daniel Copeland and Chantelle Louise Patricia (Bryant) Copeland on July 11, 2022, in Tucson, Arizona.  She was the youngest of four children born to this union. She was affectionately known as “Talia” by her siblings and "Teela" by her daddy.  

Natalia was a blessed and happy child who brought joy and sweet feelings that we will carry in our hearts forever.  She made her family smile and laugh so much, we will never forget the happiness she brought us.  

Natalia means “birthday of the Lord.”  It suggests a connection to Christmas, Christ and spirituality.  In the Roman Catholic Church, Natalia was a saint, a martyr, and her feast day is on July 27.

God gave Natalia her wings early to rest in heaven on July 22, 2023, in Tucson, Arizona. 

Natalia celebrates her homecoming and leaves behind her father, Quentin Copeland, her mother, Chantelle Copeland, one brother, Quentin David, two sisters, Ophelia Karen Louise and Genevieve Nicole Melissa.
