Christine Cipro Obituary
at 103 years
Worcester - Christine V. (Imbimbo) Cipro, a long-time resident of Worcester, passed away on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at nearly 104 years of age. She was predeceased by her loving husband of fifty-four years, Vito E. Cipro in January 1995.
Christine is survived by a son, Paul A. Cipro and his wife Virginia of Worcester; a daughter, Cheryl A. Cipro and her husband George Groth of Larchmont, NY; four grandsons, Jon Cipro, Timothy, Daniel, and Benjamin Groth; two great grandsons, William and Quinlan; many nieces and nephews. Christine endured the pain that no parent should experience at the death of her son, Gary Cipro in May 2015. She was born in Worcester, daughter of the late, Domenico and Lucia (Tomasetta) Imbimbo, and has lived here most of her life. She graduated from Worcester's High School of Commerce, where she "lettered" in basketball and field hockey and received numerous medals and honors for swimming.
Christine worked for the Department of Veterans Services at City Hall in Worcester, for over fifteen years, retiring as senior clerk in 1981. She was a member of Christ the King Parish, the church women's guild, where she served as guild president, and was a long-time member and secretary. Christine was a wonderful cook and enjoyed playing cards and solving crossword puzzles.
Her Funeral Mass will be on Monday, August 16, at 10:30 a.m. at Christ the King Church, 1052 Pleasant Street, Worcester. Interment services will be held privately.
There are no calling hours.

Auntie Chris was so very kind to me. Not only when I married into the Cipro family, but also when circumstances required me to depart it. She offered guidance, support and understanding. Boy did she have a great sense of humor! I will always remember her, lovingly. My condolences during this difficult time.

We, our family, remember Mrs.Cipro with fond memories. Growing up, she was member of our extended family. We spent many holidays, events , or just Sunday afternoons together. She, as well as the entire family, were always kind and generous. I appreciate all the time we spent around them, especially now as I have gotten older. I know she will be missed by all. Thinking of the family during this difficult time sending thoughts and prayers, especially to my Uncle and Cousin.
