Nov. 5, 1927-June 14, 2024
Dorothy Jeane (Patterson) Pippin, 96, passed away on June 14, 2024, in Kanab, Utah. She was born Nov. 5, 1927, in Pratt, Kansas, to Bruce and Ada (Woods) Patterson. In 1948, she went to California to visit her brother, where she met and married Ray Olen Pippin. They lived in California, where they raised their family. In 1978, after all their children were grown, they moved to Cornville, Arizona. They had been married for almost 63 years when Ray passed in 2011. Her faith was a big part of her life; she loved reading the Bible and going to church, as well as genealogy, roses, painting, playing piano and traveling.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her two sons, Steven and Dennis, five brothers, seven sisters and son-in-law, Carlos Vivar.
Her surviving family includes her children Linda (Robert) St. Cyr, Pam Vivar, Tommy (Shari) Pippin, Barbara (Jonathan) Hepp and Janie (Thomas) Turk, as well as 20 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, 13 great-great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
