Nancy J Tippery

LODI - Nancy Jean Tippery, age 77, of Lodi passed away peacefully on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021, with her loving family at her side. She was born the daughter of William and Patricia (Clark) Tessmer on March 23, 1944, in Marshfield, Wis. Nancy was a 1962 graduate of P.J. Jacob’s High School in Stevens Point, Wis. She was united in marriage to Kenneth Tippery on July 19, 1969, in Junction City, Wis. Nancy was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend. She was a longtime member and faithful servant of the Lake Wisconsin Evangelical Free Church in Lodi. Nancy took great pride and passion in her career as a nursing assistant at Lodi’s Good Samaritan. She proudly cared for her family and her home; she especially enjoyed cooking and baking for them. Nancy’s sense of humor and smile could light up any room, brighten your day and bring a smile to your face. Upon retirement, Nancy dedicated her daytime hours to caring for her grandchildren. They called her ‘Pretty Grandma’ and she taught them to Polka! In her final years, Nancy resided at the same place she dedicated countless hours in care of others, now Devine Rehabilitation and Nursing. Nancy will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know her. Nancy is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Kenneth Tippery; children, Garth (Valerie) Tippery and John (Rachel) Tippery; five grandchildren, Kenda Tippery, Alden Tippery, Arthur Tippery, Oswald Tippery and Howard Tippery of Lodi, Wis.; siblings, Bill (Louise) Tessmer of Junction City, Wis., James (Kathleen) Tessmer of Junction City, Wis., and Sharon (Gerald) Studinski of Custer, Wis.
