To know her was to love her: Mary “LaMaryl” Shipp passed away on May 25th, 2023 at the age of 85 in Sun City, AZ in the home she shared with Arlan Shipp, her husband of nearly 67 years. They met during her Freshman year at Phoenix Christian High School and quickly fell in love.
A proud Arizonan, born and raised, LaMaryl led a beautiful and spirited life full of love, service and song. She spent her days singing in the church choir, hosting family and friends for dinner, and shooting the moon in every hand of Hearts.
LaMaryl was cheeky, creative and kind - spreading joy everywhere she went.
She is survived by her husband Arlan, two children Sandy and Richard (Rosario), four grandchildren Logan, Blake (Elyse), Samantha and Angela (Matthew), and three great-grandchildren Madison, Avery and Teddy. All will miss her smiling face dearly.
A memorial service will be held on June 16th, 2023 (LaMaryl and Arlan’s 67th wedding anniversary) at 11:00am at Sun City Christian Church with a reception to follow. 9745 W Palmeras Drive, Sun City, AZ.
