Lois J. Baughman

Lois Baughman, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on November 4, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth that will be cherished forever. Born on October 9, 1960, in Peoria, Illinois, Lois was the cherished daughter of Elgin (Bud) and Betty Huber. She was preceded in death by her parents and her two brothers, Rick and Robert Morgan.

Lois spent her formative years in Peoria, attending Pleasant Hill School and Manual High School. Her early years in Peoria laid the foundation for a life rich in family values and community spirit.

On October 29, 1976, Lois married the love of her life, Robbie Baughman. Together, they celebrated 50 years of marriage, raising three wonderful children, Tammy Phillips, Bobbie Coy, and RJ Baughman. Their love and commitment to each other were a beacon of hope and inspiration to all who knew them. Lois's family continued to grow, and she was blessed with seven grandchildren and the joy of five great-grandchildren, whom she adored.

Lois was a devoted and hardworking individual, spending many years working as a dry cleaner for Star Crest Cleaners in Peoria. Her work ethic and dedication were evident in everything she did, and her colleagues and customers knew her for her kindness and warm smile. Lois was also an active member of the Pentecostals of Peoria Church, where she found great joy and solace in her faith and community.

Those who knew Lois remember her as the heart and soul of her family. She was strong-willed, funny, and loving, with a kindness that touched everyone she met. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel like part of her family, often gathering loved ones around her kitchen table for a cup of coffee and heartfelt conversation.

Lois is survived by her beloved husband, Robbie, her children, Bobbie, Tammy, and RJ, and her seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving sisters, Rose Cole and Roxanne Tennison, as well as several nieces and nephews, all of whom will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

They find comfort in knowing that her legacy of kindness and love will continue through the lives she touched.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. They are comforted by the knowledge that Lois's laughter, wisdom, and grace will remain woven into everything they are, forever in their hearts. A wife and mother's love is eternal, and Lois's enduring light will guide them always.
