Beverly A. Lippmann

Born on March 29, 1924, in Baltimore, MD, she was the daughter of the late Addison Cooke and Alice (Whiteley) Armstrong. She was a graduate of the Mary Burnham School in Northampton, MA.

In 1942, she married Maynard J. Lippmann of Holyoke, MA, in Nashville, TN. The couple raised their family in Holyoke, MA until 1974, when they moved to Cape Cod.

While living in Holyoke, Beverly was the Director of the Visiting Nurse Association’s Home Health Program. After moving to the Cape, she began working with Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands, establishing the Cape and Islands Meals on Wheels Program. She retired in 1998 at the age of 75.

Beverly was an avid reader and in her later years enjoyed books on tape from the Perkins School for the Blind. She was a lifelong fan of tennis and the Boston Red Sox. She would often spend warm summer days on Smuggler’s Beach. More than anything, she cherished the time that she shared with her family.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Maynard J. Lippmann.

She is survived by her daughters, Holly Trevisan and her husband, Nello of Orleans, MA, Robin Shanahan and her husband, William of Bristol, VT; her grandsons, Jonathan Trevisan and his wife, Tanya of Duxbury, MA, Jason Trevisan and his wife, Karen of Sudbury, MA, Jordan Shanahan of Bozeman, MT, Will P. Shanahan of Fairbanks, Alaska; and her great grandchildren, Tyler Trevisan, William Trevisan, Luke Trevisan, Anna Trevisan and Nate Trevisan.

A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.

The family wishes to thank all of the staff at Thirwood Place for the care and support they provided during her six years of residency.
