Edith M. Sheren

Edith was born in Chicago, Illinois on February 22, 1912, the daughter of Frank Frederick William Wipper and his wife Mable Lodemia Sanderson. On May 9, 1933, at her brothers’ apartment in Lansing, Michigan, she was married by her father to Dale Hiram Sheren, who preceded her in death in 1976.

Also preceding her in death were her infant son Frederick Glenn; her brother John Wipper of Lansing; and her sister Ruth Wipper Sater of California.

She is survived by sister, Mrs. Irene Wipper Call of California; her son and daughter-in-law, Harvey Sue Sheren of Bonita Springs, Florida; and her son and daughter-in-law, Lynn Sandra Sheren of Jenison.

Edith was a kind and loving Christian woman, who expressed that love to all she met, especially through her civic involvement.

She also greatly enjoyed watching her family grow and participating in their activities.

Aviation played a major role in Edith’s life as she and her husband were part owners of the former Davis Airport in East Lansing and operated Sheren Aviation for 45 years.

Edith managed the airport until four years ago when she moved to Jenison to be near her family.

She was also past officer and member of the Rural Missionary Society, a Christian charitable organization in East Lansing.
