Olive R. (Stahl) Lipot Scholarship

This scholarship is a remembrance of our Mother from her living children. Charles A. Lipot, Jr., Ruth Auwae, Robert Lipot, James Lipot, and Barbara Everett and their respective families. Beside her children, Ollie leaves behind 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Mom was a great believer in family first and education second. She had created a scholarship for dad (Charles A. Lipot, Sr.) and did the same for the Lipot children that had preceded her in death, (Patrick – bother and sisters – Mary, Joan Marie, and Elizabeth).

As a young woman, Ollie was a member of the Roxyettes dance troupe in Washington D.C. She met our Dad on a blind date and they fell in love and married shortly thereafter. During the war, Ollie worked as a secretary in the War Department.

When her youngest children were in school, she went back to school. first to OCC where she got her A.A. and then to Cal State Long Beach where she obtained her B.A. She then got her credential to teach Photo Restoration at Coast. She loved it. Mom was very artistic person. She did oil paintings, pastel colors, stained lass, photography, and even started her own business, Ollie’s Photo Restoration. She was also a member of the Professional Photographers.

A few years after Dad passed away, she decided to move to Las Vegas at the urging of several friends from OCC that had already made the move. Here too, she blossomed. She continued her photo restoration, became a member of the Security Patrol for Sun City, took up hula dancing, joined a travel club, and became proficient at playing the organ. She made many new friends and enjoyed life and eventually remarried. She will be missed very much.

WE LOVE YOU MOM.
