Langhorne Hipp Obituary
Greenville - Langhorne Cooke Hipp, 83, wife of Thomas Allison Hipp, Sr. died Friday, January 26, 2018.
Born in Lynchburg, Virginia Langhorne was the daughter of the late Virginia Kinnier Cooke and Wylie Rountree Cooke and a proud Virginian throughout her life. She loved her church, her family and her heritage. After graduating from Converse College in 1956 she taught 4th grade in Greensboro, N.C. during her early married years. She owned and operated The Racquet Shop in Greenville with friends Frances Apperson and Betty Kulze for 15 years. She enjoyed sports and was an avid tennis player. When she wasn't busy with work or with one of her many clubs, including the National Society of Colonial Dames of America, Junior League of Greenville, Elsie Haynsworth Garden Club, the Debutante Club of Greenville and the Tuesday Study Club, she loved taking art classes, spoiling her grandchildren and spending time at her family cabin located on the Maury River in the Shenandoah Valley where she would catch up her many cousins.
She is survived by her husband of sixty years and children; The Reverend Al Hipp and wife Karen Bruning Hipp of Landrum, S.C., and Virginia Hipp Phillippi and husband Paul Phillippi of Simpsonville, S.C.; grandchildren; Thomas Allison Hipp III, Kenneth Jackson Hipp, Samuel Rodgers Hipp, and Virginia Langhorne Phillippi; and brothers; Thomas Russell Cooke and wife Virginia Cooke of Richmond, Virginia, and Wylie Rountree Cooke, Jr. and wife Holly Ward Cooke of Norfolk, Virginia.

Dearest Tom, I spoke with Carole Spooner this morning and she told me of Langhorne's passing.
When we were neighbors you both were so cordial and dear to me and my hounds. And those adorable grandsons.
You both showed such compassion and warmth and I loved hearing all about the Virginia trek to your mountain cabins.
The Hipp Family is in my thoughts and wish I had known earlier and perhaps I could make my way to the celebration of Langhorne's life.
Much love to all.

Dear Tom,
I remember Langhorne as so much fun and full of laughter as a close friend in high school. I remember her ancient car--I think it was a Model T and getting up Hollins Mill Rd in it. I haven't seen her in years, but remember her with fond memories. I send my love to you and the family.

Dear Tom (and Al and family), I so well remember meeting you and your charming wife at Dorian's ordination and seeing you at St. Peter's. I tried to contact you at Cascades but was unable to and that makes me sad, especially now. Praying for God's comfort for all of you.
