I was so sorry to read on Facebook of your mom’s passing. I’m a cousin by marriage.
I remember Kippy from high school. I graduated in nineteen seventy two but we stayed friendly whenever we would see each other in public. She always stayed the same. I was shocked when I saw her picture here because she looked just like she did in high school. I am so sorry for her family’s loss.
I remember Kippy. Though we weren’t close, we were friendly and this way back in high school. My condolences to the family.
We have shared over 40 years of friendship which I now reflect back on. Memories of our young nursing careers and working together, bowling leagues with your mom, going on vacations together, canoeing and the yearly Halloween gatherings and the great love and friendship we shared. You were a bright light in the lives of many Kip. Your life was a blessing and your memory a treasure.
She was a very kind person and always willing to help. I always loved her flower beds.
Kippy was a friend as well as a coworker. I enjoyed all of our long talks. I remember how she loved to cook, bake and was always bringing in her dishes to share in the workplace. She was truly a kind and caring person and was an excellent nurse. She will be missed.
May you rest in the arms of Jesus Kippy❤️
We have had so many great memories, from bowling years at Mix n bowl and South lanes in Three Rivers to all of you and Marshall’s awesome Halloween parties you hosted!
You taught me so much about gardening and I appreciate that so much!
I loved watching your children grow up and getting to know Dillon when he rode my bus! What a great kid he is🥰
Hug my sister for me when you see her.
And I will keep your family in my prayers my friend. Love you
My dear friend, I’m so thankful I stopped and seen you and Marshall couple months ago! Thankful for all the great memories I’ve built with you both and such great time every time I was around you! May you rest in peace and tell my sister I love and miss her !
