Elizabeth “Betty” Rippey (nee Walsh) age 95 on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at the Sea Crest Village in Little Egg Harbor Township. Her passing to a new day was graciously quiet and peaceful.
She was born in Paterson where she spent her formative years moving to Wayne where she lived for twenty-five years. In 1980 she and her late husband moved to Spring Hill, Florida and she lived there before moving to Whiting in 1999.
Betty was employed on the culinary staff at Shulton Corporation in Clifton for twenty-three years before her retirement in 1974.
She was gifted with an outgoing personality that had a special ability to light up any room she entered. Her laughter was always a source of happiness, her kindnesses were warm wise and well received. She was blessed with many friendships, loved to dance and was always ready for the next party.
As her children and grandchildren will confirm she had a motherly humanity coupled with an intense concern for the hearts and souls of her children and grandchildren. She was the best mother as measured by her loving devotion to family.
Her family has wonderful memories of her as an excellent cook with her premier recipe that is eternally unforgettable was rice pudding. She kept her household impeccably clean and her normal household pose was with a duster in hand.
Out on a social occasion in 1935 a mutual friend introduced her to John Rippey and they soon became a couple and married. The result was fifty years of very devoted and loving marriage until John’s passing in 1985.
Surviving to mourn this very special mother and grandmother are one son John Rippey and his wife Audrey of Pompton Lakes; one daughter Marilyn Rutkowski and her husband Frank of Manahawkin; four grandchildren Jack Rippey and his wife Sandra, Marlo Rippey, Cheryl Scheuerman and her husband Robert and Troy Rutkowski; two great grandchildren Daniel Rippey and Kayla Scheuerman.
