Obituary: Sally Kipphut, 94, Of Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — (From Sisk Brothers Funeral Home): Sally (nee Alice Haynes) Kipphut, 94, passed away December 2, 2022 at the Marbridge Assisted Living facility in Cheshire.

Sally is now at peace, joining her husband George, son Tom, daughter Karen Lengyel, parents Frank and Lenore Haynes and sister Marilyn Piccolo.

For much of her career, Sally was a teacher/special education aide in the elementary school system of the Town of Hamden. She truly enjoyed her job and cherished her colleagues and students.

As long as Sally could still lift a hand, she would lift it to help someone else. Anyone who knew Sally knows that her friends meant everything to her, and in her eyes, all her friends were family.

Thanks and love go out to all those who likewise considered her family and treated her that way. She led a fun-filled and rewarding life due to your kindness, assistance and caring.

Sally was born in New Haven on April 10, 1928 and called Hamden her home since elementary school age. She loved Hamden so, and never let an opportunity pass to tell people that she lived there. She created wonderful memories for family and friends with her upbeat attitude, interest and support.

There will be no formal services for Sally at this time, with a celebration of her life to be held in the future. In the meantime, her surviving children George Kipphut III (Claire Fuller) and Christine (Steve) Furstoss, her six grandchildren, one great granddaughter, brother Frank (Evelyn) Haynes and her nieces and nephews ask that you have a manhattan, scotch or vodka and tonic, sit on your porch, and remember the fun and laughter that we were all blessed with by having Sally in our life.
