Marvis Rae (Arends) Schipper

October 4, 1944 — March 25, 2020

Davenport, Crystal Lake

Marvis Schipper, 75, of Crystal Lake, passed away March 25, 2020 at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield.  She was surrounded by her loving family following a brain aneurysm.  She was born October 4, 1944 in Blue Earth, MN to Lester and Dorothy Arends.

Marvis loved gardening, yoga, card making, her daily walks, volunteering, people watching, McDonald’s Diet Cokes, and above all spending time with the people she loved. She wore many hats throughout her life, but spent a majority of her time working for School District 47. Marvis was a loving, warm, inquisitive, strong woman who spread joy and made friends wherever she went.

Marvis is survived by her partner, Chris Mueller; children, Cathy (Bob) Linning, and Brad (Margy) Schipper; grandchildren, Liz, Becky, and Doug Linning, and Star and Alex Schipper; siblings, Mike (Lorraine) Arends, Kayla (Bruce) Lawrence, Mavis (late Dick) Holmseth, John (Candace) Arends, Debbie (Barry) Ehrich, and Steve (LouAnn) Arends; siblings-in-law, Daryl Amundson, Sandi Schipper, Dennis (Marilyn) Schipper, and Bill (Linda) Schipper; and too many nieces, nephews, dear friends, and other loved ones to name.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Doug; parents; and sister, Susie Amundson.

Immediate services for Marvis were held privately.

The family of Marvis Schipper will be hosting an open house Celebration of Life to honor her memory on Saturday, June 5th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the Veteran Acres Rotary Shelter (north of the tennis courts & ball field). There will be a short memorial service at 2:00pm led by Rev Eric Fistler. We look forward to sharing memories and hugs with everyone!  (In the case of severe weather, we will meet at First Congregational Church - 461 Pierson St, Crystal Lake - in the chapel.)

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Crystal Lake Food Pantry – 42 East St, Crystal Lake, IL 60014; clfoodpantry.org.
