In Memory of Star Slipock

Our dearest Star Mora Slipock, an adored wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away in San Diego on August 3. She was surrounded by her beloved husband of 56 years, Barry, and their two loving daughters, Samantha and Love.

Star was truly one-of-a-kind, having developed a reputation at a young age as a devoted mom, an unparalleled baker, a competitive jam and jelly maker, a compassionate animal lover, and a fierce mahjong player. Growing up in Los Angeles, she was a Clairol model in her teens and an elementary school teacher after graduating from UCLA. She loved to travel, having visited six continents (including Antarctica), more than 20 states, and countless national parks. One highlight was a 50th-anniversary trip for the entire family to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia in 2018.

Star cherished the togetherness, traditions, and lighthearted banter her family enjoyed on holidays and at celebrations.  Good food, delicious desserts, and immeasurable laughs were always on the menu.

Though not a pancreatic cancer patient herself, Star’s family requests that donations be made to Let’s Win in her memory so that we may someday find a cure for this devastating disease.
