Our hearts ache with sadness as we say goodbye to our wonderful wife, mom, grandma, and great grandma, and friend and neighbor, Janet Keppinger, who passed away March 15th, 2025, at age 96. She was the center and strength of the family and spent her life working the ranch and doing what she loved most, taking care of family, horses, cows, pets, working at the Philomath Cherry Tree Feed Store and the Corvallis livestock auction, and sharing stories with friends and family of which she had a lot of.

Janet will be greatly missed by her husband, Floyd Keppinger, and sons and daughters-in-law: Sage Keppinger, Ren and Anita Keppinger, Tod and Jackie Keppinger, Pine and Erlene Keppinger, and 9 grandchildren, and 9 great grandchildren, and a multitude of friends, neighbors and family.

A celebration of Life for Janet will be held on her behalf at the Independent Community Center (31615 Fern Road -the corner of Fern and Airport Roads) on April 12th, 2025, between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Bring your favorite potluck food dish to share

Loved visiting with Janet at the feed store and auction yard.
Always had a great smile and wry sense of humor.
A delightful woman and I know she will be missed especially by Floyd.
A privilege and a blessing to have known her
