Jerilynn Priscilla (Huffman) Lich-Ingalsbe, 83, of Crawfordsville, Indiana, passed away on January 31, 2026.

Jerilynn was born on January 17, 1943, in Highland Park, Michigan, to Gerald and Esther Huffman. She graduated from Western Michigan University and went on to a meaningful career as an Occupational Therapist, a profession that reflected her compassion, patience, and deep desire to help others live fuller, more independent lives.

She made her home in Crawfordsville, Indiana, where she built a life centered on love, resilience, and connection. Jerilynn was a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose presence was steady and meaningful. Her family remembers her for her warmth, her perseverance, and the quiet strength she carried through every stage of her life.

She is survived by her spouse, LaDonnah Dee Ingalsbe; her sons, John Lich, Ted Lich, and Rick Lich; thirteen grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Esther Huffman; her brother, Gary Huffman; her sister, Patricia Huffman; and her daughters, Veronica and Martha.

In keeping with her wishes, a private memorial will be held this Summer along the Atlantic coast, a place of peace and reflection, to honor her life and memory.

Jerilynn will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be part of her life.
