Barbara Ann Shippee, who passed away on June 1, 2017, was born Barbara Drzewiecki on May 30, 1934 to Louis and Helen Drzewiecki, and was one of nine children. Barbara was predeceased by five of her siblings, Dolores (Aunt Dolly), Walter (Uncle Lefty), Frank (Uncle Frankie), Mae Rose (Aunt Butchie), and Linda (Auntie Linda). She is survived by her other siblings, Louis (Uncle Sonny), Betty Lou (Aunt Tootie), and Edward (Uncle Eddie). Barbara was born and raised in Bristol, Ct. and joined the Army at a young age, where she met and married her husband of more than fifty years, Raymond Shippee, who predeceased her. They made their home in Danbury, Ct, where they raised their four children, Leueen (husband Abe), Susan (who is predeceased), Kimberly (husband Eddie) and Raymond, Jr. They had three grandchildren, Jennifer, Kelly (husband Brian) and Zachary (wife Amanda). They also had five great grandchildren, Michael, Eric, Luke, Rebekah and Joshua. After retiring, they made their home in Brewster, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Cape Cod was always their family vacation place, and so they made Cape Cod their home for the rest of their days. Barbara was a faithful wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who had a love for her faith, and her family. She loved gardens and old movies and spoiling all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her love, generosity and sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her faith also brought her great joy with her closest friends who she joined at church and daily lunches. They were her best friends, who her family is grateful that she had. There will be a memorial Mass held in her honor on June 23, 2017 at 11 o’clock at Our Lady of the Cape Catholic Church, 468 Stony Brook Rd in Brewster, MA. In Lieu of Flowers, please make a donation in Barbara’s name to the American Heart Association(www.heart.org), or a charity of your choice. For her worth is far above rubies-Proverbs 31:10
