Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Mentor & Friend
By Mac and Billye McLaughlin
them and right away we knew that we had found true friends. They both spoke fluent Turkish and it was a delight to shop with
Chip.
She knew every nook and cranny in Brass Alley and all of the merchants eyes lit up when they saw her coming. What fun it was
to shop with her. She was a very successful shopper and left the Turkish economy much better than she found it.
You could truly say that there was never a dull moment with Chip. She was always on the upbeat. With her, there was always
something new to discover, and to laugh about. I can hear that laugh now. She had such a good heart and loved all people.
She had more friends than anyone I know. Chip always saw the bright side and she could bring out the best in every one.
Who could not love that girl with those beautiful blue eyes and darling giggle.
Chip's deep love for Linc and her children were obvious. We always thought and spoke of Chip and Linc as a unit, not just one
or the other. We thought that they were a great example of what a marriage should be. She was a super mother to Kathleen
and Linker as well.
Although she has left this life, she will live on in our hearts and minds.
