The youngest daughter on that
Port Crescent, Michigan farm was
more likely to be found climbing
the cherry and apple trees or
playing baseball with her seven
siblings than learning to cook or
sew.
Martha (Chaplinski) and Benjamin
Kuhn's daughter attended
M i c h i g a n S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y ,
worked in a Detroit music store and then Packard Motor Car Company.
In 1947, newlyweds Mary and "Bud" Ralph J. Lipinski began
the growth of their flower shop and family.
Tim, Carol, Camille and Thom's Mom taught the neighborhood
kids to play tennis. That game gave her joy, playing it until she was
85 years old. Mom could switch from tennis shoes to high heels
readily and always conveyed a natural elegance.
Dignified, determined and sociable, Mary and Bud shared an ac -
tive work life in the Floral Industry. Member of Detroit Women's
Florist's Club, Allied Florists Assoc. of Metropolitan Detroit, Society
of American Florists, Florists Transworld Delivery, and American
Floral Services- Teleflora.
Mom's Catholic faith, the staff at the Atrium, which was her residence
since 2010, Comfort Keepers, and Hospice of Grand Junction,
CO, all came to our aid allowing Mom to transition to her heave n
with the natural grace and dignity that was her character.
We love you Mom.
