Rita Tippet Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was a pragmatic and practical individual with an especially strong soul.
Love and life were not always kind to her, and like so many others born of The Great Depression, she learned early in childhood the hierarchies of need and how to survive. Those difficult days had a profound and lasting effect on her daily life and philosophies.
Now that death has come and laid this gentle hand upon her shoulder, our family believes she will attain the peace and contentment that is richly deserved.
She is survived by her daughter Wanda Scott and two grandsons, Jimmy Dow Scott and Dawson Scott.
Funeral services were provided by Craddock Funeral Home, and she was interred in Rose Hill Cemetery.
