Not sure what to say?

I met the Nippert's on the flying fields of Geneseo, NY. Tena was Vic's Wing Woman, and quickly a friend to anyone fortunate enough to have met her. The attached from the rainy 2012 FAC Nats says it all. Team Nippert. Everyone who met her knew that Tena was a gem. xo.

I was fortunate to experience my first year of teaching at Crosby in 1987 when the sixth graders were still in the elementary schools. Having been hired Labor Day weekend that year, I hardly had time to get my room and resources ready for "my kids." Tena took me under her wing helping and encouraging me throughout the year. She was kind and caring and yes, I remember the piano! Devoted and dedicated to all the kids, her colleagues, and her craft. She was one of a kind! RIP Tena and thank you...

Mrs.Nippert was a Gentle Kind Loving soul to all who knew her. I am one of lucky ones who knew her,having met her through her Husband Viic who was one of my High School Teachers, Mrs.Nippert and I would joke about Some of her husband's Adventures during or after church.I will miss her.and my sympathies and Condolences to Vic and Family.

I met Tena when I volunteered at the Ulster Library as the Children's Story Teller. She was a delightful ray of sunshine ! Always had interesting conversations with her. A lovely lady.

She was my favorite grade school teacher. I always looked forward to her fourth grade class. She was so dedicated to her students and taught us so much. It was really that she played her piano every day.
