Chris was born on March 13, 1929 in Strasburg, ND, the daughter of Valentine & Elizabeth (Bachmeier) Braun. She was raised and attended schools in Strasburg. 

Chris married Earl Lippert on May 18, 1948 in Strasburg. They lived in Bismarck where she worked along side her husband while building their homes and family. 

Chris was an excellent cook, baker and skilled in homestead arts such as canning, sewing, and crocheting. Her home was always open to family and friends for a meal, a visit and a smile. She was also known to be quite a competitive card player. 

Chris had a deep relationship with God and she and Earl loved their church and the friends they made there. 

After Earl passed away in 2005, her years became more quiet and eventually led her to reside at Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center in assisted living followed by skilled care. Her family appreciates the kind, compassionate care she received. 

Chris is survived by her children, Pat (Lonnie Burr) Scherf, Mel (Sue) Lippert, Bev (Dan Fischer) Popolo, Pam (Bob) Eastgate, Amy Enzi and Emily Lippert; brother, Ken (Judi) Braun; sister, Linda (Terry) Herr; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl; son, Tim; son-in-law, John Scherf; grandson, James Scherf; infant son, Wayne; brothers, Alex, Raymond, Victor and LeRoy; and sisters, Alvina Faith, Bernice Grensteiner, Betty Dienstmann and infant sister, Seline.
