St. Louis, IL, passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family and friends on Sunday morning, October 16th, 2016. Carol fought a lengthy and courageous battle with ovarian cancer, to which she begrudgingly submitted. The immensely caring, encouraging and hopeful nature of the staff and oncologist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL enabled her to fight and persist beyond imagination.

Clipper, Ph.D and Sheri L. Miller; Earl K. Clipper and Sally Clipper; Jeannie M. and Kevin Simpson; nieces Angela and Michael Ryffel, Melissa and Jason Stranger; nephews Todd C. Clipper, Kevin and Sarah Clipper, and Michael Clipper, great nieces and nephew, Madeline Ryffel, Emma Ryffel, Annie Ryffel, Jillian Stranger, Ryan Clipper and Reese Clipper.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, October 22nd at 9:30am at St. George Catholic Church, 4980 Heege Road in Affton, MO. Memorial contributions may be made to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America through Gateway for Cancer Research, 1336 Basswood Road, Schaumburg, IL 60173.

    We have all lost a wonderful friend. Worked with Carolyn for over 20 years, and a more dedicated and loyal worker you would never find. May she now rest at Peace with our Lord and Savior.

    I have wonderful memories of the mischief we got in to as children. Cousin Carol was my idol…so pretty and talented. I will always remember your smile, laugh and twinkle in your eye.

    Happy Halloween, Carol. All is well here and I hope that the same is true for you. Fun time of the year, got my candy ready for tonight and the kids roaming the neighborhood. Have been thinking about you a LOT recently. Someone told me that it is the way someone makes their presence known in a visit from your side. Hope that is true and I am enjoying the visits. Wishing you nothing but happiness and smiles.

    Well, Fall is just around the corner. Had my last bonfire of the season this past wkend when Kristi visited from Chicago. Was such an enjoyable visit and I was so happy to see her. Think I might be heading to ORD for Thanksgiving ………. would be nice, the boys will be home and the food will be plentiful.
    Hope all is well with you ………… know that I miss seeing you and having the chance to laugh and giggle about things. Love you and enjoy your wings. Hard to believe that it has been 3 months since I last wrote to you.
