Obituary
Ilona Elizabeth Pech, 92, passed away
at 10:42 p.m. on April 6, 2020 at Copper Creek
Cottages in Lincoln.
Ilona was born on January 31, 1928 in Latham, IL;
daughter of Joseph and Levena (Richner) Wachter. She
married Raymond Pech on August 28, 1954 in Missouri.
He preceded her in death on May 19, 2007.
Surviving Ilona are her children: Thomas (Leanne)
Pech of Bloomington, and Susan (Dr. Mark) Goergen of
Morton, three grandchildren: Kristofer (Rachel)
Goergen, Kathryn (Matt) Moehn, and Alex (Rebecca
Brumfield) Goergen; four great grandchildren:
Isabella Goergen, Kristofer Goergen, Liam Moehn, and
Lucy Moehn and many nieces and nephews. She was
preceded in death by her parents, one brother:
Forrest, and one great grandchild: Logan Moehn.
Ilona actively attended St. Johns United Church of
Christ. She was a longtime farmer with her husband
and continued after his passing. She loved to spend
time outside mowing and gardening. She would also
stay up late at night and read. In her past she
worked at the local dime store, Lincoln Garment
Factory and Arcade Diner. |
She used her excellent seamstress
skills to make clothes and many costumes for her
kids. She was an Election Judge and volunteered at
the Red Cross Blood Bank. Ilona enjoyed and loved
her family. Ilona will be greatly missed but we know
she has been reunited with the love of her life
Raymond. Our wonderful memories of her as a wife,
mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great
grandmother will always remain.
A private family graveside service will be held at
Atlanta Cemetery. There will be a celebration of
life held at a later date.
Memorials may be made in Ilona’s name to St. Johns
United Church of Christ or The Salvation Army.
The family wishes to thank Copper Creek Cottages
staff for the care and love they gave to Ilona.
Services are entrusted to Fricke-Calvert-Schrader
