Huppy was a member of Myers Park United Methodist Church and the Charlotte Country Club. She moved to Southminster in 1994 and during her years there enjoyed many wonderful friendships with other residents. Her participation in the after dinner men’s poker game, line dancing and the “Huhs” are just a few of the experiences she treasured. She was in failing health for some time and was the recipient of loving and sustaining care from Kay Grier, Nilza Pappas and Ginger Harris. She also was ably served by Caesar Wallace to whom she was affectionately known as “Miss Daisy”.

She lived a rich, full life and was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and devoted friend. She will be missed by many.

There will also be a reception to celebrate her life with Southminster friends and their families from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 9 at Southminster.
