LaVina Lin Patry Copeland, age 56, of Roosevelt, passed away November 4, 2017, at her home after a battle with cancer.
She was born February 1, 1961, in Roosevelt, to Max James and Patsy Lee Atwood Patry. 
LaVina worked for Burdick Construction for over 14 years.  She was a hard worker and enjoyed her job, especially learning and running machinery on the road crew.  She loved the outdoors, long drives in the mountains with her dog, fishing, family and children.    
She searched out and found her brothers and sisters from her biological father, Robert Franklin, and was a key factor in keeping them in touch.
