Rosalie's parents were Eugene and Florence Inez (Dubbs) Frazell. She graduated from Shelton High School in 1944 and after earning a Normal Training certificate she taught a rural elementary school for three years. Dick, a veteran of WWII, was stationed in Germany with the Army of Occupation. When he came home, they were married on his birthday, the 27th of November, 1946, and moved onto the farm 9 miles north of Central City. Rosalie had been her dad's right-hand gal each summer because it was wartime and no other help was to be had. It was natural for her to stand beside her husband later on as his helpmate for the 57 years they lived on that farm.
Rosalie had a very big garden each year, and a well-kept yard. She enjoyed cooking and loved having a crew of neighbors and friends around her table and preparing a filling meal for them. Some of her other interests included quilting, knitting, crocheting, reading, working on puzzles, writing and learning to use the computer. She was a prolific writer and authored many personal papers. Her grandchildren were the beneficiaries of her "magic lap" - she often knew how to make things better for those she loved.
She was a member of the Fairview Methodist Church and held various offices. Community involvement included the Friendship Club, serving on the Merrick County Extension Board, Merrick County Farm Bureau Board, the Litzenberg Memorial Hospital Board, and was active in the Republican party.
While her children were in school, she stayed home. Then she was hired by the U.S. Department of Commerce, ding the Census, and later worked as an interviewer on many of their surveys. She was a supervisor for three decennial counts. This was a perfect job for her. When she retired she was awarded their highest honor, the Bronze Medal. Each year one person from each of the 13 districts in the US is selected based on quality of work.
Rosalie and Dick were both licensed airplane pilots. For over thirty years they owned an airplane and enjoyed hours in the air. They belonged to Flying Farmers.
Needing a distraction after the passing of her husband, Rosalie started relating her memories of the WW II North Platte Canteen to audiences. She loved telling that bit of Nebraska history. Little did she know that after 70 years, telling the North Platte Canteen story would bring real joy to her senior years. She shared that story with over 70 different groups.
Mrs. Lippincott was preceded in death by her husband, H. R. "Dick" Lippincott, son-in-law Todd A. Anderson, daughter-in-law Janet S. Lippincott, her parents and siblings, Delbert (Margaret Ann) Frazell; Lois (Lester) Ramsey; Avis (Anan) Sitorius; and Marjorie (Harry) Pinkerton.
Survivors are her three sons and one daughter-in-law, Jerry Lippincott of Lincoln, NE., Randy and Joyce Lippincott of Scottsdale, AZ., and Loren Lippincott of Central City, NE.; her daughter, Ronda Anderson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and her stepmother-in-law, Nancy Z. Lippincott of Mesa, AZ. Also surviving are her nine grandchildren and twenty great-grandchildren.
