My grandmother was my *Angel*. She made me who I am today and taught me many of things. Without her I dont know where I'd be. She was a wonderful person who helped and inspired many. Thank you to all who came to the funeral.

My condolences to the family. Mrs. Ernestine was my teacher when I went to Lincoln Jr. High. You should be proud of the lady she was and the impact that she made on so many of us students. I feel very fortunate to have met her and to been the recipient of her teachings. God be with your family. She is most doubtedly already teaching others there in Heaven.

Marianne: I was sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Seems like yesterday we were the two "daughters of teachers" at Lincoln. My mom passed away five years ago. I'll remember your family in my prayers.

My condolences are shared with the family, friends and former students of Ernestine Hippert as we all have lost a wonderful person in our lives. I was her student at Lincoln Junior High School from 1962-1965. She was a very caring teacher who inspired and motivated her students; she made a difference in my life.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Ernestine whom I have known for over 40 years. She and I were colleagues at Lincoln Jr. High School as I was beginning my teaching career. She will be missed by many.

Mrs. Hippert was my teacher at Lincoln Jr. High School. I ran into her later in life while researching my family history. She was very kind and helpful and because of her, I was able to reach far back into my geneology. Her help meant the world to me.My deepest condolences go out to the family.
