It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Lois Cipalo, one of Blue Cap’s original Executive Directors.
Lois dedicated many years of service to our organization, working side by side with Ron Blouin and helping provide the leadership, vision, and stability that guided Blue Cap’s growth and success. Her commitment, compassion, and legacy continued to influence the organization long after Ron assumed the role of Executive Director.
In recognition of her many years of dedication to Blue Cap, the driveway at our 1962 building was named in Lois’s honor—a lasting reminder of the impact she made on our organization and the countless lives she touched.
As a tribute to Lois and her many contributions, you will notice bunting displayed at Blue Cap in her honor. We join together in remembering her remarkable impact and extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who knew and loved her.
Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Streator, Illinois, with the funeral service immediately following at 10:30 a.m. Burial will take place at Riverview Cemetery in Streator. Hagi & Schultz Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
Lois’s dedication to serving others helped shape Blue Cap into the organization it is today. She will be remembered with gratitude, admiration, and respect.
