After high school and proudly serving in the U.S. Army Air Force in Japan during the Korean War, he earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting.

Together they were faithful members of Tupelo’s First United Methodist Church where they were active as volunteers for the Shepherd’s Center. They also participated in Meals on Wheels and Ross often drove elderly residents to their various appointments. Ross was generous with his time as well as offering financial support to many charities. Ross leaves behind his son, Alan Epting and his wife Margie of Belden; three grandsons, Blake Ellison and his wife Audrey of Pheba, Adam Epting and his wife Amy of Manhattan, Kansas, and Nic Epting of Virginia Beach, Virginia; his sister, Betty Jo Gullett and her husband Eugene of Louisiana; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Libby Epting; a son, Rodney Epting; and a brother, Mike Epting.
