Louella Baughman

Louella Ruckman Baughman, 88, of Baltimore passed away at the Pickering House in Lancaster on Sunday, December 2, 2018.

Louella was born in Thurston, Ohio on January 4, 1930 where she was a long-term resident. She is preceded in death by Floyd Baughman, her husband of 65 years, her parents, Hazel and Charles Ruckman, as well as seven brothers and one sister.
She is survived by her children Mike (Joyce) King, Gene Baughman, Susan Baughman and LouAnn Peters as well as six grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild; brother, Richard Ruckman, and sisters Patricia Heistand and Carol Vanvelzor.

Louella was known for her cooking, especially her pies. Her favorite time of the year was to attend the Fairfield County Fair with family and friends. She cooked and baked for days in advance while family would travel cross-country to be there. Louella was also an amazing euchre player who always managed to have the ‘stopper’. Many loaners fell to her card playing skills.

A funeral service will be at Noon on Thursday, Dec. 6th at the Johnson-Smith Funeral Home, 207 S Main Street, Baltimore. Family and friends may call from 10AM until the time of service on Thursday. A graveside service will follow at Primitive Baptist Cemetery, Thurston. Family and friends are welcome to gather afterwards at St Micheal's Church in Baltimore.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in Louella’s memory to Fairhope hospice, www.fairhopehospice.org, 282 Sells Rd. Lancaster, OH 43130. Online condolences can be made at www.funeralhome.com
