She was born on June 19th, 1981 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to, and survived by her father Robert Philippi and her mother Debra (Philippi) Lemanski.

Dearest loved one to Aunt Carol, Aunt Heidi, Aunt Paulette, Uncle Russ, cousin; Marlaina, Tiffany, Lindsey, and Lyle. Also, survived by her many beloved nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Now, to the heart of the matter, this lovely woman, friend, mother, wife, daughter, sister, and most of all, Christian. We will all remember her for the life she lived, dead to self and alive to God, who gave her new life. She is now in her heavenly home for she was only a pilgrim passing through, living for Christ, until and still in heaven. Let’s remind ourselves of the significant parts of her precious life which gave her a wonderful God-given opportunity to grow in what would become her specialty, teaching spiritual truths and assisting with children. As seen, even at a young age she had a nurturing spirit and would assist with family needs. Continuing this theme, she worked at various preschool facilities namely KinderCare/YMCA/Bright Horizons, etc. where she worked with several young kids, and throughout her life, she has taught young children including her own precious ones. She also began to homeschool her children in the last four years, and this action was directed by the Lord himself, which shows her devotion to Jesus Christ. Speaking of devotion, she was a dedicated follower of the one true God who became her Savior, during her early childhood. Because of her firm love for Christ, she has ministered to countless souls and would always help out the best she could. Visitation will be held Thursday, August 10th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Vermeulen-Sajewski Funeral Home, 46401 Ann Arbor Road West (Between Sheldon and Beck), Plymouth. The Funeral will be held also at the funeral home at 3:00 PM. In conclusion, here are two portions of scripture, one of comfort, and one that she had on her heart recently. 1. But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-14 2. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Ephesians 3:20 In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hope Community Church, 2100 Ellsworth Road, Ypsilanti MI 48197.
