Ionia Sentinel-Standard – Thurs. June 4, 2009

Marguerite Whipple, of White Lake and formerly of Traverse City, Greenville and 
Ionia, age 87, passed away on Wednesday, June 3, 2009.

She was born on June 21, 1921 in Ionia the daughter of John H. and Bertha 
(Antcliff) Schlosser. Mrs. Whipple grew up in Ionia where she worked for 
Associated Truck Lines as a depot manager and semi-driver during World War II. 
She then worked for Meijer Inc. as a cashier and earned cashier of the year 
award. She also worked in the corporate office for Meijer as an assistant 
buyer. It was there she met her husband Lloyd who also worked for Meijer from 
1946 -1992. They married on Aug. 29, 1953. Marguerite and Lloyd then moved to 
Greenville in 1959 where they founded L and M Ice Company. They moved to the 
Traverse City area in 1977 after Lloyd was transferred to the Meijer store 
there. Marguerite was involved in many clubs while in Traverse City and had 
many good friends. After her husband passed away, Marguerite moved to 
Plainfield, Ill. and then to Independence Village in White Lake to be near her 
son. Her time in White Lake was spent going to all the activities she could do 
and also to bingo on Friday nights. What she loved most was spending time with 
her friends, playing games and just visiting.

Surviving are her son, Allen (Lisa) Whipple of White Lake, granddaughter, Emily 
Whipple, and several nieces and nephews.
