Mabel Caroline Lippy
Born: November 18,

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.
