July 17, 1934 - February 1, 2020
Pat L. Tippit left this earth on February 1, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 17, 1934 in Ada, Oklahoma to Charles and Grace Plumlee. She is survived by her husband of 63 years Pete Tippit, her son Tim Tippit and wife Patty, her daughter Toni Shamley and husband Terry, a sister, Geneva Wilburn, and a brother John Plumlee and his wife, Bobbi. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Sarah Tippit, Andrew Tippit and his wife Edie, Colby Shamley and his wife Joni, of and Richard Shamley and his wife Karena and by 6 great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
Pat grew up in Ada where she attended elementary, junior high and high school. After graduating from high school, she attended and graduated from East Central State University where she met the love of her life, Pete.
Pete and Pat started a family in Ada but soon moved to Oklahoma City where they lived for 4 years. In 1961, they moved to Enid and have spent their entire adult life there.
She was a member of the Garland Road Baptist Church in Enid and so enjoyed her time with all the members of the church. She was active in many activities at the Church.
She taught special education for 32 years, first at Cherokee State Park School and then at Coolidge Elementary School in Enid. She was named Teacher of the Year in the Enid Public School System in 1986. She retired in 1996 but continued teaching part-time for many years after she left Coolidge.
Pat loved her family and looked forward to any opportunity to see them, be with them or spend a special day with them. She loved the holidays especially once she and Pete had grandchildren. She so loved the phone calls she got in later life from her grandchildren and listening to the happenings in their lives, their ups and downs and occasionally, doling out a little homespun advice.
Services will be held on Thursday, February 6 at 10:30 a.m. at the Garland Road Baptist Church, with burial to follow in Enid Cemetery. Visitation with the family will be Wednesday, February 5 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at Anderson-Burris Funeral Home in Enid. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to the Enid Retired Teachers Association Scholarship Fund in Pat's name. Guestbook is available at www.andersonburris.com.
