Margaret Moore Kipp entered eternal life on April 15 at her residence, Cedarbrook Fountain Hill. Her son was present holding her hand. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland 94 years ago, she was the daughter of James and Grace (Moore) Brown. Margaret met the love of her life Joseph M. Kipp, Sr., an American Army GI, and married him in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1943. Their union lasted 50 years until his passing in 1993. Greta, as she was affectionately known, came to America in 1946 with her son Joe, Jr. Although she always loved Ireland, the USA became her adopted country and she proudly became a naturalized citizen in 1953. She conscientiously voted throughout her life. After graduating from school, she began employment for 7 years at the Ulida Clothing Manufacturing Co. in Belfast. In the United States she worked part time for H. Leh and Co. She was affiliated with the War Brides Group after World War II, the Afghan Hounds and the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of St. Andrew's. Greta was a parishioner and faithful communicant of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church for more than 55 years. Greta loved to cook and bake (skills learned professionally in Ireland), play her piano, garden, follow current events and the weather. Spring was her favorite season. Greta's true occupation was as a homemaker, wife and nurturer. She loved her family, always motivating, encouraging and showing devotion unconditionally. Our mother will be greatly missed. "God bless and cheerio!"

Joe/Jeanne, Brenda
It is with sadness I read of your Mothers death. Your Mother was a wonderful, loving women. Joe, what a devoted son you have been to your Mother. I am sure your Mom received great comfort by your steadfast presence.
My late Mother, Leah, was good friends with your Mom. I too, remember her presence at St. Andrew's over our many years of membership.
May God hold you all in His loving arms now and in the months ahead.
