MILLERTON — Shelly Marie (Bishop) Klippel, 56, passed away unexpectedly June 23, 2024. She was the loving wife of Robert L. Klippel (Bobo).

Shelly was born on Feb. 13, 1968, in Plattsburgh, New York to the late Robert J. Bishop and Linda (Maulding) Bishop. She was well known for her unique sense of humor while working at On The Run in Lakeville for over 10 years. The last decade Shelly was the property manager, alongside her husband Bob, for Frank and Maureen Bateman’s properties in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

Shelly will always be remembered for her quick wit, huge smile, and generous heart. She loved her family and friends, especially her grandchildren, who she doted on.

She is survived by her husband, Robert, mother, Linda, daughter, Alicia Hapeman (Joshua); sons Mathew Powers (Kayla), Robert J Klippel (Lindsay), and Bryan Klippel (Elizabeth); brother Robert Bishop (Stacie); nephew, Hunter Bishop (Sierra); mother and father-in-law Herbert and Elizabeth Klippel, sister-in-law Pamela Klippel, brother-in-law William Klippel (Karen); her 7 grandchildren (Noah, Nikolas, Davin, Payton, Chloe, Olivia, and Christopher), her granddog Shiloh, and several nieces and nephews.

Shelly was predeceased by her father, Robert, brother, Lonny Bishop, and close friend, Thomas Stone.

There will be no traditional services, however, there will be a Celebration of Life on Aug. 10, time to be determined, at the Millerton Firehouse.

The Kenny Funeral Home has care of arrangements.

After moving to West Cornwall in 2012, we were given a thoughtful housewarming gift: the 1997 edition of “Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs.” We were told the encyclopedic volume was the definitive gardener’s reference guide — a fact I already knew, having purchased one several months earlier at the recommendation of a gardener I admire.

At the time, we were in the thick of winter invasive removal, and I enjoyed reading and dreaming about the trees and shrubs I could plant to fill in the bare spots where the bittersweet, barberry, multiflora rose and other invasive plants had been.Years later, I purchased the 2011 edition, updated and inclusive of plants for warm climates.
