It is with heavy hearts that the family of Shirley Sage Lipps announces her passing on June 9. Born in Cincinnati, OH, Shirley recently celebrated her 88th birthday. She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Arthur Lipps and her six children: Jim (Mary) Lipps, Bill (Debbie) Lipps, Bruce (Liana) Lipps, Pam Linger, Lisa (Jim) Bernard and Jennifer (West) Armstrong, her 12 grandchildren: Kyle, Steve, Tom, Chris, Tabitha, Abraham, Becky, Jessica, Bailey, Carissa, Cory and Kiersten and 8 great grandchildren. Her life was rich with love and devotion centered around her family and the many joyful moments they shared.
Shirley often reminisced about "The Farm" and the wonderful family times there. Many summer weekends and vacations were spent camping in the company of her six children: Jim, Bill, Bruce, Pam, Lisa and Jenny. She and her beloved husband, Art, spent much of their senior life in Florida where they found great joy in beachside living and cherished times with friends.
An avid game enthusiast, Shirley had an uncanny ability to persuade anyone to join her in a round of cards or other games, spreading joy and laughter to all who visited. Her love for life and her family leaves a lasting legacy.
Her friends and family will forever hold her in their hearts.
A service to honor Shirley’s life will be on July 2, 2024 from 5pm to 7pm at Radel Funeral Home, located at 650 Neeb Rd, Cincinnati, Oh 45233, followed by a prayer service at 7:00pm.
