Jacqueline Pipino Obituary

PIPINO, JACQUELINE VIRGINIA (nee Logan), 69 - of Brookeville, MD, passed away Wednesday, September 21, 2005, at her home after a very brief illness. We mourn the loss and celebrate the life of our devoted mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and teacher who touched the lives of so many people. Her generosity and kindness made her a rare gift to those who knew and loved her. Jackie was born in Philadelphia, PA, January 26, 1936. Her family came to the shore area later that year. She was raised in Ventnor and Atlantic City and attended local schools: Our Lady Star of the Sea School and Holy Spirit High School, class of 1954. As a young woman, she worked with the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. She graduated from Trenton State Teachers College in 1965 and later earned her Masters Degree in Education at age 55. She was an especially dedicated teacher, having begun her career in the local parochial school system and other South Jersey communities and in Philadelphia, PA. In the early 60's, she headed the Remedial Reading Program for the Voorhees Township, Board of Education. In 1966, she was named area coordinator for the New Jersey Vocational Rehabilitation Project for the handicapped. She continued her call to help shape the lives of children for many years in the Montgomery Co., MD. School district until she retired August 1, 2005, after 46 years. She was a faithful Christian and an active member of her Catholic community. Jackie was predeceased by her parents, John and Henrietta (Kennedy) Logan; her sister, Marianne Logan Grosso; and her beloved son, Nicholas P. Pipino. She is survived by three loving children: daughters, Jacqueline M. Carrera (husband, David), of Baltimore, MD, and Christine M.

Mrs. Pipino was my favorite teacher, because she helped me with math and spelling. I think she was nice when she was teaching me. She liked reading and I like reading too. At the end of the year she let us have some of her books and things before she retired. For my birthday I got an ornament to hang on the tree. I'll remember her when I use it at Christmastime.

Jackie was an inspiration to the many whose lives she touched. She welcomed me with open arms when I was assigned to Kemp Mill with warmth and care. We shared many stories about educating children. Jackie was passionate about educating children and getting them to reach their goals. She will be missed!!

I know that she is sitting with the Lord sharing her storied with Him.

I met Jackie one evening six years ago. She asked for help to save her report card comments, that she had been working diligently for several hours. She seemed intimidated by the computer, yet so very patient with herself as I taught her what to do. She was extremely grateful and hoped she could return the favor as she smiled at me. As I arrived home that evening, Jackie called me to express her appreciation again. I knew then the warmth that touches those around her. I will remember Jackie's radiant smile as it will surely be missed.

Jackie was one of the first people to welcome me to Kemp Mill. She always found time to ask about my family and offer words of comfort to me during some personally difficult times.

I was struck by her grace, warmth and her sense of remaining true to her convictions.

Jackie had many talents; today listening and seeing her children "mother" comes first. You can see Jackie's influence in Jackie, Stephen and Christine.

I felt priviledged to have been a colleague of hers. Teaching came naturally to Jackie and she taught with a dedication to educate and help every student who entered her room.

It is said "Let the life I've lead speak for me. Jackie's commitment to her family, her faith, friends and all of her students is a legacy to celebrate.

Jackie my friend, I will miss you.

As the School Psychologist for Kemp Mill, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Ms. Pipino for nearly fourteen years. She was unmatched in skills and compassion. I found her to be a wonderful teacher and colleague. She will be missed.

Jackie always spoke to me with sincerity and authentic interest. She treated me respectfully and professionally. I admired the results she got from her students...no one left her room without learning to read and write! What a legacy to have left...children that have been given gifts for life.

Jackie was simply one of the finest people I've met in MCPS. When I arrived at Kemp Mill ES six year ago, I met this fiesty charmer. She was outspoken, compassionate and so funny. I knew we would be friends the moment we met. And she became one of my closest pals on the staff. Someone I could trust and turn to. One of the very few people I allowed to get close to me emotionally. We both had unspeakable horrors occur in our personal lives. And as I questioned my faith in God, Jackie would assure me that HE had a plan and his actions were all arranged. She never questioned the Lord's judgment. Maybe this is why, according to her family, she welcomed him so warmly in her final moments Wednesday. She sits at his right hand now.

Jackie was a beautiful person inside and out. One could see why she was a runway model in her youthful Atlantic City days. She had a presence that captivated every room she walked into. She had an instant knack at making you feel at ease and comfortable. No wonder complete strangers, workmen, etc. would open up to her and tell her their life story. She would have made a wonderful talk show host. Instead, she chose a career in education. And for the hundreds of elementary-school youngsters fortunate to have her, thank GOD she did. As a teacher, she was unmatched at our school. I admired the command and respect she earned and demanded. She was consistently given the most challenging students to work with. And her results with these at-risk kids were remarkable. When past students returned to her 2nd-grade classroom, you could see the genuine caring they had for her. They knew the kind of impact she had on them as a pupil and a person. Her legacy as a master teacher lives on through them. She will be missed tremendously.

My son had Ms. Pipino for the summer ELO program entering 2nd grade. She was so good to him. Yes, she was a strict teacher but Travis loved having her. After the summer program, she invited him to stop by her room anytime and always made him feel welcome. She always stopped me to ask about his progress or just to say hi. I also have a toddler and Ms. Pipino always had such nice things to say to her. And to me. She was a pleasure to know.

She was a kind, hardworking, family oriented woman. I loved to talk to her. She has made a long lasting impression on me and my family. I am so sorry for this loss.

Kemp Mill Elementary School deeply mourns the loss of Jackie Pipino. She was a wonderful colleague; I team-taught reading with Jackie for two years, and learned so much from her. She was an outstanding master teacher. The children who were in her 2nd grade class remembered Jackie yesterday--one said, "She gave the best hugs." The families of those children respected and admired Jackie. Once they had a child in her class, they always requested her for the younger sibling. Jackie may be gone, but her legacy lives on in all the children who called her "my teacher."

Jackie will not be forgotten by the many children, families, and staff whose lives she touched through her years of service at Kemp Mill Elementary. She was a committed educator, good soul and dear friend.

I worked with Jackie for 14 years at Kemp Mill Elementary school. Jackie was a warm, caring and dedicated teacher. We celebrated her retirement in June and I remember the joy in her face when she was given a beautiful quilt that her students had a part in making. Jackies kind and complimentary words always left me uplifted. I will remember her smiles always.
