REMODELS
James Doug Tippett passed
away at Wallowa Memorial
Hospital May 22. A private
graveside service was held May
27.
Doug Tippett was born in
Spokane, Wash., the son of
James Harrison (Jidge) Tippett
and Jessie L. Wilson Tippett.
He grew up on lower Joseph
Creek, the youngest of three
brothers and two sisters. He
attended school at Clarkston,
Wash., and Washington State College at Pullman, where he was
a member of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity.
He was an outstanding athlete and captain of his football
team in high school. He also participated in boxing and intercol-
legiate rodeo. He won the saddle bronc riding for three consecu-
tive years –– 1949-51 –– while at Washington State. He won the
all-around buckle at the Joseph Amateur Rodeo in 1963.
Doug served in the U.S. Army 1953-55, then returned to
Wallowa County to run the Dug Bar Ranch, a cattle operation,
which he purchased from his father in July 1957. Doug married
Patricia Joan Wilson in October 1957 in Joseph. In addition to
ranching, the couple ran a guide service on the Snake River
1964-77.
Three children were born to this marriage: Lori Lynn; Linda
Lee and Steven Douglas. Pat died Aug. 6, 1977, in Enterprise.
On June 17, 1978, Doug married Blanche Jane Bachman
Nash at the ranch home on Prairie Creek. Jane had four chil-
dren –– Ramona Jane, Jacqueline Ann, Kenneth Lyman and
Todd Phillip. Life around the home at all times was lively with
children and grandchildren coming and going as well as being
involved in their lives.
He was president of the Wallowa County Stockgrowers As-
sociation in 1963. He was named Cattleman of the Year in 1966
and Grassman of the Year in 1980. He served on Joseph School
Board for nine years. He was a member of the Elks Lodge, a
supporter of local charities and the annual FFA auctions.
Doug had many hobbies including rawhide braiding, leath-
erwork and antiquing. He also enjoyed hunting and fi shing.
Doug began raising seed potatoes in 1972. After the seed po-
tato market was fl ooded in 1995, he and his son, Steve, stepped
away from the business. He and a cousin, Ben Tippett, con-
tinued the cattle operation until Ben chose to retire. Doug re-
mained an active partner in both venues for many years.
He sold his grassland property in the Zumwalt-Chesnimnus
area in 2008 and sold all but 20 acres on the home place on
Upper Prairie Creek in 2006.
He continued antiquing until earlier this year when his health
made it diffi cult for him to get around. He had a sense of humor
and that, mixed with a dedication to hard work, made him a
successful rancher, farmer and businessman.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents, wife Pat, broth-
ers Jack and Bob and sisters Betty and Barbara. Also a son-
in-law Dennis Huber, two grandsons, Rowdy and Bart, and a
great-granddaughter, Brylynne.
Survivors include Doug’s wife Janie Tippett, a brother Biden
Tippett, sons Kenny (Annie) Nash, Todd (Angie) Nash and
Steve (Jennifer) Tippett; daughters Ramona (Charley) Phillips,
Jackie (Bill) Matthews, Lori (Larry) Linney and Linda Huber;
21 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and one on the way.

In the event we may have overlooked thanking someone,
we offer special thanks and our deepest apologies.
Words seem so inadequate to say thank-you for the
outpouring of love and comfort given to us during
a time of great loss and this is only a small means of
offering our appreciation.
