Becky Jean Tippin

Rebecca Jean Tippin, 68, of Mountain View, Ark., passed away suddenly on July 3 from a heart attack at her home.

A lover of all things in nature, Becky spent her life taking care of those in need, whether it was a wild animal who had been hurt, lovingly tending to her pets or being equally caring for her family and friends. She was a person who was always there to give love without judgement or conditions.

Born in Greencastle, Becky spent her early days on the family farm. She graduated from North Putnam High School in 1973, then moved to Arkansas where she spent the rest of her life. Her final years were spent living on a mountain in the Ozarks near her mother’s home.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Pat Wacaster, and father, Howard Tippin.

She is survived by and will be dearly missed by her brothers, Jim, David and Michael Tippin; her sisters, Heather Hohenberger and Tippany Crosley, and her stepfather, Robert Wacaster.

The family is having a memorial gathering on Aug. 5 at the Medora Covered Bridge, Vallonia, Ind., at 3 p.m.

Roller-Crouch Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
