Jack Lewis Flaugher

Jack Lewis Flaugher, 88, of Liberty Center, Indiana, passed away on March 9, 2026, at Parkview Huntington Hospital. Born on November 18, 1937, in Huntington, Indiana, to Thomas and Mabel (Leverton) Flaugher, Jack grew up with a deep pride in his hometown. He graduated from Huntington High School in 1955, where he excelled as an athlete in basketball and football, an accomplishment later recognized by his induction into the Huntington County Hall of Fame. He carried the spirit of “Once a Vike, always a Vike” with him throughout his life.

Jack built a long and dedicated career with Corning Glass Works that took him overseas, including time spent in Japan. On August 10, 1957, he married Carolyn (Weaver) Flaugher. Together they shared many years until her passing on September 12, 2023. Jack found great joy in time spent with his family, particularly through fishing and hunting. He was also a devoted dog owner who dearly loved his yellow lab, Brady.

He is survived by his children, Gary (Teresa Slusher) Flaugher, David (Tina Steele) Flaugher, Jill (Mike) Morrissey, and Mitch Flaugher; his sister, Cheryl (Robert) McKeown; grandchildren Brad Flaugher, Dustin (Jodi Leamon) Flaugher, Mitch (Shawna Heard) Miller, Brittany (David) Morock, Brooke Flores, Nicole (Doug) Miller, Matt (Jordan Moore) Morrissey, Eliza (Zach) Guggenbiller, and Kevin (Kelsey) Flaugher; and great-grandchildren Elise, Madi, Kennedy, Lexi Rae, Cale, Hattie, Eloise, Lynae, Sam, Dawson, Dean, Jed, and one on the way.
