Preceded in death by her first husband Ramon Bergeron, grandson, Thomas Gray Jr, parents Donald and Elvera Liphardt, brother Dennis Liphardt, and stepgrandson-in-law, Andrew Germain. She lived a life defined by compassion, faith, and service to others. As a dedicated nurse, she spent many years caring for those in need, offering not only her skill and professionalism but also her warmth and kindness. Her work was more than a career, it was a calling, rooted in her deep commitment to helping others. She was a loving mother to her two daughters and her son, who were the center of her world. Family was her greatest joy, and she took immense pride in her nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, cherishing every moment spent with them. Her home was always a place of comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. She was preceded in death by her first husband Ramon, the father of her children, who passed away 27 years ago. Later in life, she found love again with Richard and shared 22 meaningful years with him. They loved living part-time in Florida for many years. Her faith was a guiding force throughout her life. She lived her beliefs through quiet acts of generosity, steadfast devotion, and a deep sense of gratitude. She was an active member of her church community, serving as a parish nurse, Eucharistic Minister, dedicated volunteer with St. Vincent De Paul and she started Second Wings, a social group to help those who lost a spouse. She found great fulfillment in volunteering, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing bridge and Euchre, reading, and spending time with family and friends. In her younger years, she especially loved golfing and traveling. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, and the countless lives she touched through her kindness. Her legacy of love, service, and devotion will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Visitation Tuesday from 2:00-8:00pm with 7:30pm Rosary at Wujek - Calcaterra & Sons Inc., (Shelby) 54880 Van Dyke at 25 Mile Rd.
