Mabel Caroline Lippy, 90, of Manchester passed away Tuesday, October 6, 2015

 Mabel Caroline Lippy
Born: November 18, 1924
Died: October 06, 2015

Too often we forget that the public figure who serves our community could not accomplish the great things they achieve without the support of a family who takes care of all the necessary behind the scene responsibilities while the public figure is out front in the public spotlight and attending countless never-ending meetings.

Meanwhile, somebody has to keep the lights on… That somebody, a family – a spouse - keeps the schedules, picks-up the groceries and gets the car to the auto shop; and takes cares of all the mundane tasks necessary for life.

Sadly too many in our community tend to forget the folks that made the community what it is today, once they get old.

Mrs. Lippy was every bit as responsible for Commissioner Lippy’s accomplishments as he was; but Commissioner Lippy got the spotlight. We must not forget Mrs. Lippy because she made it happen.
