Stella Marie Lipton, 77, of Riverview NB, passed away
peacefully, surrounded by her family on April 14, 2024. Born in
Moncton, she was the daughter of the late Patrice and Yvonne
LeBlanc.
Left to grieve is her
loving husband of 53 years, Cy Lipton. She will also be deeply missed
by her son Mark Lipton (Linda) of Riverview, her daughter Tracy
Lipton-McCluskey and her 3 grandchildren, Eva McCluskey, Jack
McCluskey and Charlie McCluskey all from Moncton. She is survived by
her brothers Leonard (Simone), Wilfred (Gloria) and her sisters
Therese, Marianne, Yvonne, Patricia (Alfred) and
Lorraine.
Besides her parents,
Stella was predeceased by her brothers Yvon, Robert, Norman and Emery
as well as her sisters Jeanne and Louise.
Growing up in a large
Acadian family with 13 siblings presented its challenges, but it also
surrounded her with much love and an appreciation for how important
family bonds could be.
Stella was a devoted
wife, a wonderful mom, and a loving Nana. Her family was her
everything. She was an amazing cook and took great pride in her home.
Her strength and resilience were truly
admirable.
The family would like
to thank the staff and doctors at the Moncton Hospital, especially in
trauma, surgical intensive care, 4600 and in Palliative Care. We are
so grateful for your wonderful care of Stella. We’d also
like to sincerely thank all of our extended family and friends for
your messages, calls and prayers. A special thank you to Father Phil
Mulligan for his support and prayers.
Donations in her
memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of
your choice.
