On August 13, 2021, Jody-Lynne Liptak, also known as Miss Jody, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. Jody was surrounded by loved ones, both friends and family, during her final days. Jody impacted many in her career as a Stylist and Esthetician with Chatters, and as a Dance Instructor with Dance Magic. As a stylist and esthetician, Jody was always welcoming, enthusiastic, and creative and loved to make everyone look and feel beautiful; while putting them at ease and making them feel comfortable. Behind the scenes, Jody always cheered on and supported her colleagues bringing joy to everyone in the workplace. Miss Jody also touched many lives as a Dance Instructor at Dance Magic Studio; where she was a beautiful, kind woman with a huge heart, who positively impacted and inspired her Dance Magic students. She was passionate, dedicated, hardworking and encouraging. She had a contagious smile and was a powerful influence on all she encountered. Jody will be lovingly remembered by her parents, Kathleen and Edward, her brothers, Kevin and Kyle, Kyle’s wife, Andrea and their two children, Natnael and Habtamu. Jody will also be sadly missed by an incredibly large and supportive group of friends; as well as her thousands of dance students and their families.
