I have a peace lily, and some of the leaves are yellow, what do i need to do?

I know why mine has burnt leaves–we moved from Nebraska to Texas and the plant had to ride in a stifling hot car. I thought it was dead when we got here. It bounced back, but a part of it was fried. It looks pretty good now–I re-potted it and I cut most of the bad leaves off, but there are quite a few with brown “tips.” Should I cut these off, too? should I cut them at the bottom of the stem or near the leaf?

I have a question about my peace plant .It w as given to me when my husband passed away in March. I had beautiful white lily’s on it all the time. but the pot was getting to small for the plant. I just now got around to repotting it. I put it in a bigger pot( the roots were all root bound) and I loosen up the roots so they could grow. i used soil that had fertlizer in it. It is growing beautiful , but the lilies are green and not white. What can I do or should be doing.? Please email me the answer. Thank you very much. Rosemary White
