Dina Lynn Vaughan

NORMAL — Dina Lynn Vaughan, 57, of Normal, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her loved ones on Saturday (Jan. 11, 2020) at Richard L Owens Hospice Home, Peoria, due to a short but extremely difficult battle with stomach cancer.
She was born May 3, 1962, in Moline, to Howard and Bernadine Bowman.
Dina moved to Normal to attend Illinois State University. While in attendance at ISU, she met the love of her life, Nicholas Vaughan. After Dina graduated with her bachelor's degree in applied sciences, she planted roots in Normal where she continued her lifelong career in the Administrative Technology Department at Illinois State University. Nick and Dina were married Oct. 13, 1990, and were blessed with their two daughters, Nichole Bernadine and Gabrielle Noel. Dina lived every day to the fullest, doing what she enjoyed and loved while being around those who made her laugh and smile. It was never surprising to hear that Dina would be at a rock concert, having a beer, starting a new sewing project, traveling, eating fantastic food and enjoying time with friends and family. As we are heartbroken by her passing, we are continuously reminded of her selflessness, caring nature and endless amount of love. Her loving memory will live on with those who were touched by her contagiously beautiful soul.
Please join us as we celebrate Dina's life with visitation from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and a funeral Mass at 11 a.m. Saturday, both services at Epiphany Catholic Church, 1000 E. College Ave., Normal.
In memoriam gifts can be made to The Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University.
