She was born and raised in Richmond to the late John and Elaine Liptrap. She graduated from Manchester High School in 1965, after which she worked for Richmond Truck Enterprises for many years. She was a member of Grace Brethren for many years, where she served as youth minister, making lifelong friends. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, camping, playing cards,and traveling, once braving the trip across the Atlantic to visit her daughter while she was living in Ireland. She enjoyed trips to her family homestead and always stayed close to her roots in Bath Co. Va. But most of all, she enjoyed being with her family, playing games with her grandchildren, and spending time with friends.

A memorial service will be held at 2pm on Saturday, October 21 at Community of Grace Church, 2240 Cranbeck Rd, Richmond, VA 23235.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bon Secours Community Hospice House, communityhospicehouse.com/support.

A special thanks goes to Donna Campbell for her friendship, companionship and care.
