Jerry Glenn Lippard, a beloved resident of Cuba, Missouri, passed away suddenly on January 9, 2024, at the age of 68. Born on December 4, 1955, in St. Louis, Missouri, Jerry was the cherished son of James T. and Louetta (Doss) Lippard.
Jerry's life was marked by his accomplishments both in and outside the classroom. He graduated from Orchard Farm High School as part of the esteemed "Class of 1974." During his high school years, Jerry excelled as a two-sport letterman and even earned the title of Prom King.
On May 3, 1980, Jerry exchanged vows with his beloved wife Nancy Nickens in St. Louis, Missouri. Together they built a beautiful life filled with love and shared experiences.
Jerry dedicated many years of his life to serving others as a Rope & Rigging Specialist. He worked tirelessly for Marcal Rope & Rigging and later Tri-State Equipment in St. Louis before retiring from his illustrious career.
Outside of work, Jerry found great joy in pursuing his passions. An avid golfer and reader, he often found solace on the golf course or engrossed in the pages of a captivating book. Living at Indian Hills brought Jerry immense happiness as he cherished every moment spent with his family—especially his wonderful grandchildren.
Jerry will be forever remembered by his loving wife Nancy and their three children: Carly and her husband Patrick Freihoff of Wentzville; Ross and his wife Marissa Lippard of Florissant; Wyatt and his wife Shawna Kreher of St. Charles. His legacy also lives on through his six amazing grandchildren: Nolan, Mora, James, Oliver, Eleanor, and Hudson. Moreover, Jerry leaves behind fond memories for his father-in-law Harold Nickens as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.
Jerry is preceded in death by his parents James T. and Louetta (Doss) Lippard, his brother John Lippard, and his beloved mother-in-law Alta Nickens.
As per Jerry's wishes, he will be cremated. A celebration of life service will be held at a later date at the Indian Hills Community Center to honor Jerry's remarkable journey.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Association—an organization close to Jerry's heart.
