Phyllis Jean Hueni

Phyllis Jean (Graff) Hueni, age 90, of Osceola went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 22, 2026, following a brief illness. Phyllis was born November 29, 1935, in Milford, IN to the late Oscar and Hulda (Beer) Graff. Mrs. Hueni was a graduate of Milford High School, class of 1953. On a blind date in Chicago Phyllis met Herbert E. Hueni. Herb and Phyllis fell in love and were married on October 19, 1957. They celebrated 64 years of marriage before Herb went to be with Jesus in December 2021. In 1958 Phyllis received Christ as her Lord and Savior.

Phyllis is survived by four children: Brian (Jacki) Hueni of South Bend, Renee (Craig) Miller of Elkhart, Sheryl (Dan) Ingle of Kathmandu, Nepal, and Kevin (Laura) Hueni of Granger.

Mrs. Hueni’s career and community service included working at Penn Controls, substitute for PHM School System, board member of Camp Ray Bird, Republican Precinct Committee and Chiropractic Health Center (18 years), as well as various activities in church as youth camp and VBS director, Sunday School teacher and singer. She and her family spent over 50 summers at their lake cottage on Diamond Lake in Cassopolis, MI creating memories with friends and neighbors. Following retirement Phyllis enjoyed spending winters in Naples, FL. Some of Phyllis’ most favorite memories involved singing gospel music with her husband and four children as the “Singing Hueni Family” and later as the “Hueni Singers”. They performed for more than 45 years throughout the Midwest in many churches, camp grounds and venues. Phyllis was a faithful, loving wife to Herb and good, fun-loving mother and grandmother.
