Victor Harlen Nipper age 79 of Parkers Chapel passed away Sunday, February 24, 2019 at Elmcroft Senior Living Center in Maumell, AR. Victor was born on August 5, 1939 in England, AR to the late Fannie Moss Hines Nipper and Joel Bemis Nipper. Victor was a very kind and gentle man whose family, friends, coworkers and neighbors could always depend on in a time of need. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed playing, joking and laughing with his many grandchildren. He was a deacon at Hillsboro Street Church of Christ, where he and his wife worshiped and enjoyed many special friendships. Victor was very civic-minded. He was a part of the HWY 15 safety project, was on the Parkers Chapel School Board for 38 years and helped broker the deal for the sports complex, where the football stadium bears his name. Victor worked for Great Lakes Chemical from 1965 until his retirement as Production Manager in 2003. He was instrumental in the construction of the Great Lakes Chemical gun range and was also the livestock buyer for Great Lakes at the union county fair livestock show each year. He was an avid gun collector, enjoyed operating heavy equipment, working in his shop and always got a kick out of a good deal at the pawn shop.
Victor was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, of forty five years, Martha Nipper; one brother, Van Nipper; two sisters, Betsy Ann Collier and June Owen.
Survivors include; his wife of almost thirteen years, Donna Nipper of Little Rock; two sons, Scott Nipper and wife Kimberly, David Nipper and wife Roslyn all of El Dorado; two daughters, Vicki Pepper and husband Lawrence, Shellie Reynolds and husband Matt all of El Dorado; two step daughters, Lola Shock and husband Jacob of Hernando, MS and Lyndsey Pardue and husband Tom of Little Rock; fifteen grandchildren; thirteen great grandchildren; one sister, Jane Quarles and husband Buddy of Atlanta, TX along with numerous nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
