Aida Louise Popp, 92 of Rimrock, Arizona, beloved wife of the late Milton Popp, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2020.

She was born on August 18, 1928, to the late Franklin and Louise McCartney in Anniston, Alabama.

Aida worked as a Grammar School Teacher, Librarian, Director of Remedial Reading, Social Services Director and Teacher of English as a Foreign Language.

She traveled to Japan as a young mother to support her husband’s missionary work and later in life returned to Tokyo and Macau to teach English. She was a member of Faith Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, Arizona, supported/attended Grace Community Lutheran Church, Rimrock, Arizona and participated in her neighborhood weekly Christian Fellowship in addition to her volunteer work with the Verde Valley Caregivers.

She enjoyed her role as matriarch of Popp family reunions held throughout the country. Her special life as a loving, caring and thoughtful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We look forward to seeing her again someday, in Heaven.
