Maj. Roy E. Tipton

Friday, January 1, 2010 12:26 PM - GateHouse Media, Inc.

Roy E. Tipton, age 87 of Hillsdale. A lifelong learner, teacher and unabashed idealist, Roy Tipton will be remembered for his steadfast loyalty to his friends, family and country. He was born Aug. 19, 1922, in Madison County Ky., to Roy and Mary Willie (Fielder) Tipton. He began his professional life as a soldier, enlisting in the army in 1939. After a brief, 12-day training period was “turned to duty” as a private in the 10th Infantry. After being stationed at Fort Custer, he was deployed to Iceland in 1941 where, having been promoted to sergeant, he served until he was accepted to Officer Candidate School in December 1942. On April 17, 1942, he graduated from OCS and was commissioned a second lieutenant. This accomplishment was particularly notable since he had not yet completed his high school education. He was eventually assigned to the 351st Infantry Regiment of the 88th Division in May of 1944 and participated in the liberation of Italy from the Nazi invasion. In July of the same year he assumed command of L Company during the battle of Laiatico. After the two other rifle companies of the 3rd Battalion had been rendered incapable of combat by the enemy he led his company in a night attack resulting in the capture of over 200 German soldiers without a single casualty to his men. This action decided the battle and the 3rd Battalion was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its outstanding performance — the equivalent of every man in the unit receiving the Distinguished Service Cross. Eventually attaining the rank of major, he served in the Korean Military Advisory Group during the Korean War and was commander of Fulda Post, Germany, from January 1957 to August 1958. After a career that spanned 20 years he retired from active military duty on Oct. 31, 1959, at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. In 1963 he graduated from Western Michigan University with a masters degree in guidance and counseling. He later settled in Hillsdale, Michigan where he served as high school guidance counselor from 1966 to 1976 and was a well-known fixture in the community for the remainder of his life. An avid barbershop singer and 35-year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society he sang with the Hudson, Coldwater and Jackson chapters before helping to found the Hillsdale chapter. He is survived by Frances (Ford) Tipton, his wife of 43 years; three children: Sharon Tipton of Kalamazoo; David (Ellen) Tipton of Battle Creek; and Matthew (Josie) Tipton of Sterling Heights; Seven granddaughters: Arrow Tipton; Erin Tipton; Emily (Ian) Bobinac; Sara Tipton; Abigail Tipton; Gwendolyn Tipton; and Meredith Tipton; two great-granddaughters and a great-grandson; a brother: Lemuel Ray (Jean) Tipton of Dry Ridge, Ky.; a beloved niece: Jean Ann (Mark) Powell of Walton, Ky.; two grand-nieces: Rachel and Ashlynn Powell. He was preceded in death by a son: Michael Tipton (2009); and a brother: Denville Tipton (1945). Funeral services for Roy Tipton will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 4, 2010, at the VanHorn-EagleFuneral Home in Hillsdale with Pastor Ned Wyse officiating. Interment with full military honors will take place at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Augusta at 2:30 p.m. Monday. The family will receive friends for visitation Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at the VanHorn-Eagle Funeral Home. The Hillsdale Town & Country barbershop chorus will pay a musical tribute at 7 p.m. Suggested memorials include Hospice of Hillsdale, the Hillsdale Town and Country Chorus and Harmony Foundation.  To view this obituary and send condolences, visit www.eaglefuneralhomes.com.

Wilma Plummer

Friday, January 1, 2010 12:24 PM - GateHouse Media, Inc. 

Wilma Plummer, 89, formerly of Belle Center, passed away Friday, Dec. 25, 2009, at her son’s residence in Flower Mound, Texas. Born April 28, 1920, the daughter of the late Lafayette and Bertie (Swartz) Markley. She was a hard worker at DAB in Bellefontaine, the community, and on the family farm, that was passed on to all of us. She graduated from Blume High School in Wapakoneta, Ohio. She married Thurman Plummer Sept. 6, 1942. With hope, humility, and laughter (yes especially loving to laugh), they grew in confidence and work ethic, giving birth to three sons, Don, Eldon, and Doug. They were proud of their boys. They wanted nothing but happiness for them. The boys grew up on the family farm where Dad and Mom taught responsibility, loving, giving, caring, ethics, etc. Their boys went on to become successful men, all graduating from The Ohio State University, marrying and having their own children. Mom and Dad loved their eight, really nine, grandchildren. This brought them their ultimate fulfillment in life. They accomplished their dream. Mom lost her friend and our Dad Feb. 16, 1995. Her biggest tragedy was the loss of her second son, Eldon, on March 23, 1999. He is survived by Janice, his wife, and their three children, Nathan, Melissa and Brian and their families. They all gave of their time while Mom lived in Bellefontaine. This day is a day of happiness to re-unite with her son Eldon and our Dad in heaven. Mom lived her last few years in Texas with her youngest son Doug and his wife Angie. Their children are Job, Cassie and Ashton. Amber, Job’s fiancée, also has a special place in Mom’s heart. Angie and Doug were with Mom in her bed until her last breath. Don is single, semi-retired and continues to enjoy life in Hillsdale. His two daughters, Amanda and Lynn Ann, live in the Chicago area. Wilma is also survived by two sisters, Pauline Thompson of Bradenton, Florida and Irene Sidener of Cridersville, Ohio. Our Mom…she was there for us during our times of joy and pain, she healed our cuts and scrapes, she saw us through our achievements and disappointments, our Mom fed us, bathed us, she gave us happiness. Our Mom served the church and the community. She was active in the United Methodist Church in Belle Center. She enjoyed preparing meals for the church and Kiwanis. She served on the Huntsville Grange. We had many Thanksgivings and Christmases at Mom’s family of two brothers and four sisters. Mom enjoyed family gatherings especially when cooking and baking was involved. We celebrate this life of Wilma Plummer. She accomplished what she set out to: fulfilling her dreams and established a heritage of dreams in people she touched. She has found peace in God. She has started her everlasting life with Christ. Mom would have wanted us to say special thanks for the help and support of Mercy Hospice (especially our Nurse Andrea) and Dr. M Patel for their compassionate and caring ways that guided us so we could bring her home and care for her. We could not have accomplished this without their support. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 31 at the Belle Center United Methodist Church, 101 S. Center St., Belle Center, Ohio 43310, with Pastor Kevin Smith officiating. Friends may call from 2 -4 and 6 -8 p.m. Tuesday at the Eichholtz Funeral Home, Bellefontaine, Ohio. Friends who wish may make memorial contributions to Hospice of Hillsdale County. Condolences to the family may be expressed at: www.eichholtzfuneralhome.com.
