Janet Radabaugh-Tipton, 62 of Galena, IL, passed away Saturday, January 24, 2026, at Midwest Care Center, Galena, after a short battle with Pancreatic Cancer. There will be no public services. The Furlong Funeral Chapel in Galena is assisting the family.

Janet grew up in rural Stockton, IL, and graduated from Stockton High School in 1981. Later, Janet moved to Galena, a place very near to heart. Having been a loyal Stockton Blackhawks fan, she adopted the Galena Pirates into her heart. On February 2, 2012, she married Joey Tipton of Stockton. Janet enjoyed reading, listening to music, her garden, and the sun. But, most of all, she fiercely loved her family.

Janet is survived by her sister, Ann Wilkinson of Orangeville, children, Erica Lamm (Chad Kelchner) of Dixon, and Christopher Wasmund (Morgan Wainwright) of Dubuque, IA, stepchildren, Annessa Tipton and Amanda Vargas, both of Dallas, TX, her grandchildren, Jasmine Gillentine and CJ Gillentine, both of Dixon, and many, many cousins.

She was preceded in death by two infant brothers, David John Radabaugh and William John Radabaugh; her parents, DeLos Radabaugh and Carol Sanderson Cole; her paternal grandparents, Melinda Andregg Radabaugh and Raymond Radabaugh; her maternal grandparents, Jessie Callahan Sanderson and Stanley Sanderson; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
