Heppner

Milton-Freewater
July 7, 1955-July 22, 2016
Robert Howard Jepsen,
86, of Heppner, Ore.,
passed away on Tuesday,
July 19, 2016, at Kadlec
Hospital in Richland, Wash.
A Celebration of a Life Well
Lived was held on Saturday,
July 22, at 11:00 a.m. at All
Saints Episcopal Church
in
Heppner.
Following
the
service, lunch was
provided at the
church.
Robert, or Bob
as he was known
by most people,
was
born
in
Heppner, Oregon,
on July 26, 1929.
His
parents
were Walter and Jepsen
Matilda (Burns)
Jepsen. Bob was
the third of nine siblings.
He grew up on a Rhea
Creek farm where his father
raised laying hens.
He
attended
Ione
School for all 12 years and
graduated in 1948. After
high school graduation, he
attended Paciic University
on a football scholarship
and studied business. He
then transferred to Eastern
Oregon College where he
also played football.
During college he met
his wife-to-be, Suzanne
Lieuallen of Pendleton,
while skiing at Spout
Springs. Bob was on the ski
patrol and rescued Suzanne
after she had fallen and
broken her arm. They were
married on June 24, 1951.
Soon after their marriage,
Bob took over farming the
Dobyns ranch, where he
had worked part-time since
the eighth grade. While on
the wheat farm, the couple
had two children. Susan
was born in 1952, and Bill
came along in 1955. Susan
went on to become a regis-
tered nurse and Bill a veter-
inarian. Bob and Suzanne
continued to farm until
1991, when Bob retired and
they moved to Heppner.
Bob loved agriculture and
continued to help his son
Bill on the farm until his
death. This would have
been his 73rd harvest.
Church and community
involvement were very
important to Bob. He was
a man of strong faith,
believing
in
salvation
through Jesus Christ and
the promise of resurrection
and eternal life in heaven.
He was an active member
of All Saints Episcopal
Church and participated
in their Cursillo program.
In earlier years he was a
Sunday school teacher at
the Ione Church. He also
spent many years working
with a prison ministry
in Pendleton and was
involved with Full Gospel
Businessmen’s Association
in Hermiston. Bob served
in numerous other organi-
zations including time as
president of the Oregon
Wheat Growers League,
president of the Willow
Creek Country Club, and
chairman of the Oregon
State Farm Service Agency
committee.
Bob was a
member of the museum
board, the county road
committee and many local
and state committees. Soon
after retiring from farming
and moving to Heppner,
he was elected mayor. He
served in that posi-
tion for 12 years,
from 1993-2004.
Over the years
Bob has been
recognized with
many awards and
honors, including
Conservation Man
of the Year in
1970, Oregon State
Father of the Year
in 1972 and, with
Suzanne, Heppner
Man and Woman
of the year in 2002.
Bob enjoyed spending
time outdoors. He was
an avid snow skier and a
member of the Mazamas
Mountain Climbing Club
for over 15 years. He also
helped teach survival skills
at Tupper Outdoor School
to local sixth graders.
Golf was another of Bob’s
favorite pastimes, right up
to the time of his recent
illness.
He
especially
loved spending time with
his grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. They
will miss his love and his
sense of humor.
Those left to cherish his
memories are his wife of 65
years, Suzanne; daughter
Susan
Bullington
of
Umatilla; son Bill (Nancy)
of Heppner; four sisters,
Elsie Baca of Maryland,
Betty Mault of Coos Bay,
Anna Larson of Portland
and Evie (Mike) Elder of
Eugene; two brothers, John
(Jean) of Ione and Frank
(Linda) of Milton-Free-
water; six grandchildren:
Brad Bullington, Matthew,
Daniel, Eric and Rebecca.
Jepsen, and Amy Jepsen
Schaffeld;
and
nine
great-grandchildren: Blake
and Brody Bullington,
Natalie, Seth, Cody, Abi,
Laurelee and Anna Jepsen,
and Whitney Schaffeld;
and numerous nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in
death by his parents and
two sisters, Virginia Wood
and Mary Holtz.
Memorial contributions
may be made to the Willow
Creek Terrace Assisted
Living Facility, 400 Frank
Gilliam Drive, Heppner,
OR 97836. Money will
go speciically toward to
building a paved and land-
scaped walking path for
residents there.
By the grace of God, Bob
lived a long life, and he was
full of life while with us. He
worked and gave of his time
tirelessly. He was loved and
respected by many and he
paved the way for a great
number of descendants to
be brought up in the fear of
the Lord and with a delight
to live with both intensity
and trust. He will be often
missed in the coming years.
