Carol Anne Lippincott, passed into the Lord's presence on February 13, 2024 at the age of 83 at Arbors of Minerva.  She was born on July 19, 1940 in Enon Valley, PA to her parents Harry and Ethel (Hough) Coblentz.

Carol married Jerry Lipp on October 18, 1958 and had two children, Annette (Louk) Morris and Robin (Scott) Frank.  She was preceded in death by her first husband, Jerry Lipp, and her husband, Neil Lippincott, whom she married on November 30, 1985, her daughter, Annette Morris, her brother, Ralph Coblentz, her sister, Janice (Fraser) Ice and her stepdaughter Janie Meeker.

Carol attended Unity Grade School and graduated from East Palestine High School in 1958.  She was a member of 4-H and Girl Scouts during that time. She worked as a waitress at the Drive In at North Heights Dairy, Copeland Furniture as an assistant bookkeeper, Silco Dept. Store as a clerk and assistant manager, J.J. Newberry as office cashier and Kenmar Manufacturing as an upholstery seamstress.  After Kenmar closed, she completed a 9-month computer program at the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center (CCCTC).  She also spent 20 years helping her husband with milking cows twice daily and feeding & caring for the calves until they were weaned.

Carol had a deep faith in God, and she was confirmed at Salem Evangelical Reformed Church in Unity which is now called Mt. Calvary Church.  As an adult, she became a member of the New Waterford United Methodist Church where she taught children's Sunday School classes as well as serving as the Chair of Missions.  After her salvation, she made friends with Meryl Esenwein, a missionary to Africa, and she supported missionaries for many years. She was also instrumental in sending a mission team to Haiti in the 1970s. After moving to Minerva, she transferred her membership to the Bayard Community Church where she later became the Financial Secretary, UM Women's Treasurer, Sunday School Treasurer, and she also taught Sunday School & Vacation Bible school there and at the Golden Age Retirement Home in Carrollton.  Since 1992, she also updated the Bayard UMC sign with weekly inspirational messages.

Carol loved flowers and used her natural talent with flowers to plant them around her church annually.  She also helped build and also maintained the West Community Garden in East Rochester.  She also was a member of the East Rochester Garden Club and served as the President and Treasurer as well as being on the Sunshine Committee.

Carol was a volunteer for the Minerva Community Meals program and delivered meals weekly to shut ins.  She was also a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and served as the Chaplain.

Carol was always willing to help others and when there were opportunities for improvement, she volunteered her time and talents.  She was concerned there was no booth set up for West Township at the Columbiana County Fair.  So, Carol volunteered her time and decorative talents to create and set up a booth at the fair for West Township for numerous years with a different theme each year.  She also noticed the sign at the Plains Cemetery (aka McKinley Cemetery) was in poor condition, so she assembled a committee and designed and installed a new sign.

She is survived by her daughter Robin (Garry) Frank (Lisbon), her stepdaughter Jenny (Tim) James (North Carolina), stepsons Dick (Debbie) Lippincott (Minerva), Dan (Kelly) Lippincott (Alabama), brother, Wilbur (Gerri) Coblentz of East Palestine and her grandchildren Shawn (Renee) Louk, Josh (Kimberly) Louk, Danny (Heather) Scott, Courtney (Michael) Nail and Tyler (Stefanie) Morris, plus 11 step grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and 19 step great grandchildren.
