Paul Webster Baughman, Jr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Webster Baughman Jr., age 92 who left this world peacefully on December 31, 2024, in Asheboro, North Carolina. Born on July 10, 1932, in York, Pennsylvania, Paul lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family and friends.

Paul was the beloved son of the late Paul and Winifred Baughman. He cherished his family deeply and was a loving husband to his wife, Lucy, whom he affectionately called the love of his life. They shared an incredible journey together for 69 years, building a life filled with joy and companionship until her passing in 2019. For six long years, Paul yearned to be reunited with Lucy, and now they are together again. 

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Lucy and sons Roger and James, grandchildren Jennifer and Paul IV. Their legacy is honored by their children: son Paul III and wife Brenda; Sharon and husband William; as well as their grandchildren Nicole, Sean, Kendal, Kyle and wife Dawn along with great grandchildren Kaylee, Logan, Conor and Chase. His family was his pride and joy, and he took great delight in watching them grow.

Paul’s life journey began modestly, picking beans, but through hard work and determination, he became a successful business owner. His focus and perseverance taught his family the values of dedication and resilience. He was a devoted member of his Church community, where he found great joy and connection with those around him. He will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Paul had a wide array of interests that brought him joy throughout his life. He was an avid fan of both old and new Western movies, tv shows and books. He was known for his exceptional skills at checkers, a game he could play with both intensity and joy. As a supporter of the Green Bay Packers, he celebrated their victories and weathered their losses with the same enthusiasm he showed in life. At one point in Paul’s life he enjoyed hunting on his 600 acres in the deep woods of Wisconsin.

Above all, Paul was a kind and loving human being who never met a stranger. His gentle spirit and ready smile left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path. He embodied compassion and warmth, welcoming everyone with open arms and a caring heart. His legacy will forever be remembered through the lives he touched and the love he shared.
