Mrs. Shipman was my 3rd grade math teacher at Traverse Heights. Though she wasn't my homeroom teacher, she was still remembered fondly. She always dressed well and wore a certain smell of perfume. I can still see her apply her lipstick and she never had a hair out of place. BUT her voice, now that was unique. She drew attention when she spoke. This was a lovely lady and a great educator. I am sorry to hear about your loss.
