Mary Jipson Obituary
She served with kindness and dedication as a Nurse's Aid at West Wind Village Nursing Home and gave generously of her time to the Morris Salvation Army. Her deep commitment to her faith was evident through her lifelong membership and active involvement in the First Baptist Church of Morris, MN.
Mary enjoyed the simpler things in life, such as cross-stitching, reading, solving word searches, and coloring. These pastimes mirrored the grace and patience that she embodied throughout her life.
She is survived by her twin sister, Marie Eblen; daughters, Robin Jipson, Dawn Jipson, and Sherry Schmitt (married to Daniel Schmitt); beloved grandchildren, Douglas Berning, Billy Slocum, Kyle Slocum, Adam Schmitt, Bradly Muscha, Jordan Schmitt, and Caitlin Yourczek; as well as her treasured great-grandchildren, Jayden, Jasmine, Summer, Zachary, Gavin, Sophia, Connor, Bentley, Aubrie, Bradley Jr., Harper, Rush, Olivia, Gavin, and Greyson.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Donald Wayne Jipson; her brother, Jim Collins; and her sister, Pearl Jipson.
A funeral service to honor the memory of Mary will be conducted at the First Baptist Church in Morris, MN, on July 20, 2024, at 11:00 am. Mary's memory will be cherished and her life celebrated by all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Her spirit of benevolence and love will remain an inspiration to us all.

I will miss aunt Mary very much, I didn´t get to see her much over the last few years, but I have so many fond memories of her from when I was younger, and they lived out here in Oregon. My thoughts are with my cousins Robin, Dawn, and Sherry, and all of their families. Sending hugs to you all.

I remember becoming an honorary daughter when she got just as upset with me as she did her other daughters when we were (unintentionally) late coming home. She will be missed
