for more than forty years where she was affectionately known as the "flag lady" or "Prissy."
Mother was not only famous for her chocolate pies and pudding, but also for her banana pudding, and caramel and chocolate cakes that she all made from scratch.
Mother took her role as a pastor's wife seriously. She served alongside our father in churches in north and south Mississippi, and in Alabama.
Mother was preceded in death by our father, the dear love of her life for 56 years, W.O. Pippen. She was also preceded in death by her granddaughter Kari McLaurin, or Kari-poo to mother. Her parents, James Marcus and Jessie Maybelle Pierce, four brothers and seven sisters also preceded her death.
Mother is left to grieve her passing but rejoicing in her Heavenly homecoming, her daughter, Barbara (Baylis) Sellers of Laurel, MS; her son, David (Faye) Pippen of Bay Springs, MS; her daughter Kathy (Charles) McLaurin of Petal, MS; four grandchildren, Clay Sellers (Adrianna), Jonathan Pippen (Amanda J ), Chip McLaurin, and Amanda McCarty (Joel); fourteen great grandchildren, Allison Strickland, Eric Stillwell, Kisa Miller, Trey, Colton, Conner, and Jessica McLaurin, Cassie Sellers, Jadyn, Jake, and Jon Truman Pippen, Bailey, Emily McCarty, Benjie Carney; and two great-great grandchildren, Harvey and Holly Strickland, her best friend and last living sister, Ellen Lowe. She also leaves numerous nieces, nephews, and many special, loving friends.
Our family would like to express out gratitude to the staff at Comfort Care in Laurel, MS for their compassion shown during Mothers stay there.
