Cecile
« Sis » Edna Lipscombe, 100, passed away peacefully with her
family by her side on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 at the Dr. Georges-L.

As a child, Cecile moved with
her family to London, Ontario where she grew up and married the love
of her life, Ernest « Roy » Lipscombe. Together they raised
three sons, Gary, Paul and David. Cecile worked at McCormick Biscuits,
Eatons and London Life. She had strong faith in God, and attended and
served faithfully at Central Baptist Church in London. In 1996, Roy
and Cecile moved to Moncton to be closer to family and spend time with
their grandchildren. They were members of Highfield Baptist Church. In
2009, Cecile moved into Golden Years
Estates.
Cecile will be greatly missed by her sons Paul (Jim)
of London, Ontario, David (Shelley) of Moncton, daughter in law Jeanne
