It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of George Wallace Loughman of North Manchester, IN. He passed away peacefully in his home at 9:20 am, June 4, 2026 surrounded by his loving family.
Born on March 27, 1942 in Greene County, Pennsylvania, he was the son of Wallace and Marie (Rush) Loughman. George graduated from West Greene High School in Rogersville, Pennsylvania. He then went on to serve a term in the United States Air Force as a jet fuel mechanic. As the years passed, he held various positions, but ultimately earned a Graduate School of Banking diploma from the University of Wisconsin, and spent 35 years in all facets of the banking industry. Upon retiring he took on a rewarding position serving the disabled residents of The Arc of Wabash County, and spent his free time drinking coffee with his buddies every day at Hoosier Point.
George had a bigger than life personality that would light up every room he entered. His story telling abilities kept everyone captivated. He was a passionate Pittsburgh Steelers fan and absolutely loved his collection of Harley Davidson motorcycles. One of his most beloved traditions was the annual golf outing he attended with a few of his fellow banking alumni and their spouses, a tradition that lasted the past 42 years.
He will forever be cherished by his wife, Connie Tyner Loughman; their children, Joy Loughman, David Baillieul, Joe & Kellye Loughman, Robert & Michelle Hobbs and Brent & Carrie Haycraft; their grandchildren, Brandon & Andrea Rans, Haley Baillieul & Austin Malott, Clay Baillieul, Karlye & Liam De Stefano, Kelsye Loughman, Andrew & Fallon Hobbs, Jillian & CJ Stepnowski, Samuel Hobbs, Justin Poehler, Cody & Kristen Shipley, Natalie Haycraft & Davis Coyne; their great-grandchildren, Luci Scobie, Gavin Malott, Emerson Rans, Charlie Jo Rans, Shane Kenney, Raylee Rose De Stefano, Natalie Hobbs, Remy Hobbs, Olive Hobbs, Hudson Poehler and Navy Coyne; and their brother-n-law, Jerry Maley. He is preceded in death by his parents; Wallace and Marie Loughman, his wife; Sharon Ayersman Loughman, and his sister; Kay Maley.
