MILDRED C. HIPPS
Mildred Naomi Chambers Hipps, 83, of 19 Baker Drive, Asheville, went home to be with the Lord Tuesday, February 20, 2007.
Mrs. Hipps was a native and lifelong resident of Asheville and was the daughter of the late Zebulon L., Sr. and Mamie Mack Chambers. She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles W. Hipps and by her brother, Z.L. “Bud” Chambers, Jr.

She was called by the Lord to be a mother and daily she proved her love for her children. She was a gifted woman with many creative abilities. She was blessed by the Lord in many ways and never failed to thank Him for those blessings. She was a Proverbs 31 woman and was a role model to all who knew her. Her sweet, generous spirit touched many lives. Words cannot express how much she will be missed by her loved ones.
