Keith Wortman, 90,
passed away peacefully at
home on July 4, 2019. He
was born on May 1, 1929, on
Diamond Prairie near Wal-
lowa, the fourth son of Ord
and Ruth (Col-
pitts) Wortman.
Throughout
his 90 years he
resided in many
places including
spending most
of his childhood
on Powwatka.
He
attended
the Powwatka
School through
8th grade and
then attended
Wallowa High
School.
At
16, his parents bought the
Imnaha Store and he too
moved to Imnaha. It was
there that he met his wife
of 65 years, Janis Warnock,
daughter of Jesse and Hazel
Warnock. Not long after they
met, he enlisted in the U.S.
Army and served from 1950-
1953, including serving over-
seas in the Korean War. Keith
and Janis were married April
10, 1954. For most of their
married years, they resided
in various parts of Wallowa
County, but also lived in
Colorado, Idaho, Nevada,
New Mexico, and Washing-
ton, as Keith followed var-
ious construction and log-
ging jobs. He operated heavy
equipment and owned log-
ging trucks, loving being
able to work outside and
in the woods. He and Janis
always had a large garden,
and they enjoyed being able
to grow and preserve their
own food. He also enjoyed
hiking, berry picking, and
wood cutting. In
their
retirement
years, they trav-
eled throughout the
United States, resid-
ing for four years in
their RV. They vis-
ited 49 states, and 5
Canadian provinces
in that time – hik-
ing and exploring all
the way. His great-
est joys were being
in the outdoors, as
well as playing with
his grandchildren and
great grandchildren. He is
survived by his wife, Janis,
four children — Becky Wort-
man of La Grande, OR; Diana
Wortman of Enterprise, OR;
Mary (and husband Jerry)
Hope of O’Fallon, IL; and
Thomas (and wife Nelly)
Wortman of Lawton, MI —
ten grandchildren, fi ve great
grandchildren, sister-in-law
Judy Wortman, and numer-
ous nieces and nephews. He
was preceded in death by his
parents, four brothers (Lynn,
Lowell, Elmo, and Pat Wort-
man), and grandson Lance
Strickland. Keith requested
no services, and his ashes
will be laid to rest in the niche
wall at the Enterprise Ceme-
tery. Donations in his name
may be made to Friends of
the Enterprise Cemetery.
