Theresa Lipp

May 25, 1931 – May 24, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Nan/grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. Theresa Margaret Lipp (Bast), a resident of Regina, SK passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on the morning of May 24, 2025, one day short of her 94th Birthday.

Theresa was predeceased by her husband George in 2009 and is survived by her children Dale (Nathalie Bolduc) and Kathy (Rob Ehman and his children); grandchildren Joel McKenzie (Krystal), Matthew Kohuch (Aimee) and his children, Francis, Indiana and Olive.

Theresa is also predeceased by her parents and siblings; Frank Bast and Katherine Bast (Schmidt), Mary Vogt, Pauline Sigmeth, Josephine Ziegler, Alfred Bast, Bernadette Selinger, Frank Bast, Richard Bast and Lorraine Bast; dear Friend Eleanor Molleken and numerous brother and sisters in-law.

She will be sadly missed by her surviving siblings Rose Church, Christina Ziegler, Fred Bast (Sheryl), Tony Bast, Joe Bast and Catherine Hensrud; sister in-laws Henrietta Freistad and Marge Bast; along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Theresa was born and raised in Dilke SK, then later moved to Regina to complete Grade 12 before entering Nursing School. She graduated from the Grey Nuns’ Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1954, an accomplishment she was forever proud of. She dedicated herself to care for others.

In 1960 she married her best friend, George Lipp. Together, they raised their children Dale and Kathy. She found great joy in raising her family in Regina, and spending time at the cottage at Lipps’ Beach. She welcomed all who drove out to the lake for a visit. She also enjoyed crocheting, sewing, flower gardening and hosting large house parties for birthdays and anniversaries. Her warmth, kindness and sense of humour will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Brightwater Senior Living. Their exceptional care and compassion provided great comfort, especially during the last few weeks.

A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Peters Roman Catholic Church, 100 Argyle St. N, Regina on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 11:00 AM. Following the Mass the family invites you to join them for a Celebration of Theresa’s Life and a time of fellowship and lunch in the church hall.

Private Family Interment will follow at a later date.

“God saw she was getting tired

And a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around her

And whispered, “Come with Me”

We watched her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly,

We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands to rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.”

“When a loved one becomes a memory that memory becomes a treasure.”
