Nancy Baugher

Obituary

Nancy Eileen (Rzepski) Baugher, 75, passed away peacefully at home, on November 9, 2026, surrounded by the family she loved so deeply. While her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, her life leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and a family that will continue for generations.

Above all else, Nancy was devoted to her family. For 56 beautiful years, she shared her life with her beloved husband, Larry Baugher. Together, they built a life rooted in love, commitment, and the many memories that come from sharing nearly six decades side by side. Their marriage was a true union and embodied what it means to truly love someone until the very end. Their marriage was the foundation of a family that grew to become Nancy’s greatest blessing.

Nancy was the proud and loving mother of four children: Tommy, Lauren, Heather, and Beth. Her children and their spouses blessed her with twelve grandchildren, who were, without question, the absolute pride and joy of her life. They gave her immeasurable happiness, meaning, and purpose. Each grandchild held a special place in her heart, and the love she had for them was boundless. Being their “Gammy” was one of her greatest joys and most cherished roles. Her family was her world. The memories, traditions, and love she shared with them will remain a lasting part of who they are.

She is also survived by her best friend and “her person”, her sister in law, Linda; her three beloved siblings: Gayle, Joyce and David; along with nine cherished nieces and nephews; and countless extended family members and dear friends whose lives were touched by her.

Nancy was a friend to everyone she met, loved with her whole heart and lit up every room she entered. Her wit, humor, story telling and loving, charismatic demeanor will be missed by all.

Nancy’s greatest legacy cannot be measured in years, but in the family she nurtured, the relationships she cherished, and the love she gave so freely. Nancy cared for everyone. Whether it was a phone call to check in about your game, a birthday card in the mail, searching for an item someone said they needed in passing, or showing up for you whenever you needed it. Nancy leaves behind a family connected by the memories they shared with her and the countless ways she made each of them feel loved. Though her presence will be deeply missed, her family will be sure to remember her every time they turn on a Phillies or Eagles game, walk the boards or beach in Ocean City, see a mocha Frappuccino, eat a delicious dessert or recount any of her hysterical one-liners. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

To her family, Nancy was so much more than a wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. She was a constant source of love, support and an irreplaceable part of the family that meant everything to her.

Her greatest gift was the family she leaves behind, and her greatest legacy is the love that will forever hold them together.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
