Lois Ann Blemer Lippincott, 91, of Orinda, California, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2025, following a sweet, calm, and loving transition. A devoted mother, grandmother, and passionate advocate for education and marine life, she leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories that will forever resonate with her family and community.

Born on December 8, 1933, in Berkeley, California, Lois was a proud descendant of California pioneers. Her ancestry includes the Whitney family, known for helping develop Placer County, and the Tubbs family, founders of the historic Tubbs Cordage Company in San Francisco. 

She graduated from Stanford University in 1955 with a degree in English and was an active member of the Rally Committee, where she helped foster school spirit and formed lifelong friendships during the spirited Big Game traditions.

Lois was a dedicated docent at the California Academy of Sciences, where she shared her passion for marine life with countless children through engaging tours around the Steinhart Aquarium. Her enthusiasm for education and the natural world shone brightly in these interactions. She also embarked on adventurous journeys to locations around the globe, helping to collect unique fish species for the aquarium, contributing to its vibrant displays and educational mission.

Lois is survived by her daughter, Lisa Lippincott, and grandson, Steven Richter, both of Arizona. She was predeceased by her daughter, Abby Lippincott, her beloved partner, Bob Gledhill, with whom she shared a beautiful love story that started by reconnecting at their 50th reunion and continued with nine years of fun, love and travel as well as Stanford football games with friends. She was also predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Alan Lippincott. Her family finds comfort knowing she is at peace and will forever remain in their hearts. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and a small celebration of life will be held at the Mountain View Cemetery in Piedmont, California, at her family’s mausoleum.
