Daughter of Shepherd Leroy Tanner and Elizabeth Jane Reese
Married Clyde Chipman, 15 Aug 1938, Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada
Obituary - Druce Tanner Chipman. Our loving Nana was taken from us far too soon at the age of 97. She was called home on April 2, 1997. Druce was born on May 18, 1900, in Beaver, Utah to Shepard LeRoy and Elizabeth Jane Reese Tanner.
On August 15, 1938, she eloped to Las Vegas, Nevada to marry Clyde Chipman. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on September 14, 1977. He preceded her in death after 49 years of marriage on March 31, 1984.
Druce Tanner attended the Murdock Academy in Beaver, Utah, and went on to graduate from the U of U, and the McCune School of Music. Druce loved to play the piano and loved to share her music with visitors, especially those who would sing along with her. She taught 1st grade at various elementary schools and retired from Rose Park Elementary in 1965, after serving for 38 years. She loved teaching, and she loved all children. Any child was her friend and she always had time to play a game, read a story, or teach a song to them. Nothing was so important that it couldn't be interrupted to spend time with her "sweet kids."
Those of us lucky enough to be love by her had the best gift in the world. Nana died of complications from a fall in her home in spite of the great care she received from the St. Joseph's Transitional care staff.
Preceded in death by her sisters, Aleen Marx and Dorothy Anderson, and brother John Tanner. Survived by her family: Linda, June "Markey", Bentley and Quincy Adams. Also servived by a brother, Eugene Tanner (Molly), and Norma Tanner, and special friend, Crystal Johnson.
Funeral services were held Monday, April 7, 1997 at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 255 South 200 East, Salt Lake City, Utah. Her interment: Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
