Helen D. Knepp

Helen D. Knepp Perhaps You Knew Her: Helen Dippery Knepp died at her home on Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Perhaps you knew her growing up in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. She married Bill in December, 1955. Perhaps you met her during the 21 years they served on active duty with the U.S. Marine Corps or the 34 years they have lived in Beaufort. Maybe you knew her as a volunteer Red Cross Gray Lady at Beaufort Naval Hospital, or a Team Mother for the Laurel Bay youth sporting events. Perhaps she greeted you during her years of service for Doctors Swan, Shoney, Pearce, Kruger and Burris. Perhaps you shared a bridge table as her partner or opponent during her 40 plus years as a player. Perhaps she greeted you at the First Presbyterian Church on a Sunday morning or during a trip with the church's Prime Timers Group, or as a good neighbor on Riverside Drive on Lady's Island. Perhaps in the last 3 years your caring has come as flowers, a card, as food or a phone call. THANK YOU!! Many of you knew her as the mother of Robert, Daniel, David and Patty; as the loving grandmother of Bobby, Billy, Morgan, C.J. and Joey. What a lady, what a mother, what a wife. We loved her deeply. Perhaps you did also. A memorial service will be held Friday, February 5, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. at the First Presbyterian Church in Beaufort, S.C. Memorials may be made to Island Hospice, 1211 Newcastle St., Suite D, Beaufort, S.C. 29902 or First Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 1226, Beaufort, S.C. 29901.
