The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Willow Point Nursing Home. Pippi loved you all. Pippi was easy-going and loveable all her life. Her siblings remember that she always had time to spend with them and help them, especially the younger ones that she looked after. Her signature giggle made everyone smile along with her. Pippi was a giving person and the family requests that you honor her life by giving of yourself in some small way that will help someone else. A private service will be held at the discretion of the family. Arrangements are by the J.F. Rice Funeral Home, Inc., 150 Main St., Johnson City, NY.
