Rosemary (Oeler) Shipe, born October 11, 1924, returned to the Lord on August 3, 2019.
Rosemary O. Shipe, née Oeler, 94 3/4 yrs., after nearly 44 years apart, is reunited with the love of her life, John J. "Jack" Shipe. Simul in aeteraum. Married just short of 20 years, they were blessed with 7 children. She attended Thompson Business School in McKeesport and worked as a clerk at USS Duquesne Works prior to marriage and raising a family.
A never-ending curiosity and wonder of the world, love of language, and card playing kept her sharp her whole life. She started the latter as a young girl, joining her mother's card club (her youth and her skill making her the least, well-liked player). High school Latin aided her cross-wording, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy passions to the end.
