great-grandmother, and aunt, passed away peacefully into

she lived, with a gentle, sweet spirit, and strength from
God. Her husband of 62 years, Henry B. Pipkin, preceded

and participating in her church Body Recall exercise
program. She is survived by a loving and close-knit
family which includes daughters Donna Howington and
husband Joe, Suzanne Harrison and husband Tim, both of
San Antonio; son Mike Pipkin, of Houston; grandchildren
