Mrs. Viola Brookshire Rippy, 92, formerly of the Beth Shiloh and Edgemoor Communities died at White Oak Manor on February 26, 2012. Children rejoice! Our dear loving mother, 93 years old, and a mother for almost 72 years has departed this earth to be with Jesus in the eternal realms of glory. She lived a life of faith in God and endured many trials while here on this earth. It was always so very important to her, and her deep desire, that her children would always love one another. She now dwells safely with Jesus, where there is no more sickness, dying, weeping or pain. No more disappointments. She at last, is done with all such things. She will now live with eternal pleasure in her dear Lord's presence. She was born February 27, 1919, in Woodstock, GA to the late Thomas Wallace Brookshire and Lula Brewton Brookshire.

Bradley (Conley), Linda Gail Robbins (Marvin); 12 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; 15 great-great grandchildren; and her sister Mrs. Inez B. Adams.
