Irene C. Soltan, 82; Loving Mother, Grandmother Who Was Rocky Hill Resident

From D’Esopo Funeral Home.

Irene (Cuper) Soltan, 82, of Rocky Hill, beloved wife for 50 years of the late Harold Soltan, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 after her courageous battle with CHF and COPD.

Born in Hartford on May 26, 1933, she was the daughter of the late John and Ann (Krasawa) Cuper.

Irene was a longtime faithful member of St. James Church, Rocky Hill and a founding member of the St. James Community Life Committee. She also served as an usher during mass.

A loving mother and grandmother, she devoted her life to her family and will be dearly missed by her daughter, Jeannine Bradley and her husband Robert of Cromwell and her two grandchildren, Kelley Bradley of Katy, Texas and Michael Bradley of Cromwell.

She adored and was undeniably proud of her two grandchildren and cherished time spent with her family enjoying Sunday dinners, attending dance recitals, school concerts, award ceremonies and musical theater performances. She will be dearly missed by many other family and friends that were touched by her spunkiness, especially ones who knew her as “grandma”. She enjoyed listening to Polish music, oldies, making Polish recipes and was well known for her delicious pies.

Irene’s family would like to thank all the healthcare providers, especially Middlesex Cardiology.

Funeral services will begin Saturday (September 19) at 9 a.m. at the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd., Wethersfield. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. at St. James Church, 767 Elm St., Rocky Hill. Burial will follow in Rose Hill Memorial Park, Rocky Hill. Family and friends may call on Friday from 4-7 p.m. at the funeral chapel.
