Laura Bea Huber
It is with sadness that we share the passing of Laura Bea Huber, who died on March 3, 2026, at the age of 78 following complications from surgery.
Laura was born on October 13, 1947, to Doug and Donna Wilsman. From the very beginning of her life, she had a strong faith. At a young age, Laura made the most important decision of her life by dedicating herself to her God, Jehovah, symbolizing that dedication through baptism on July 30, 1958. Her faith remained the center of her life from that day forward. For many years, she served as a full-time volunteer Bible teacher, finding great joy in helping others learn about Jehovah and sharing the Bible’s promise of a future paradise.
She met her second great love on February 10, 1982, when a handsome gentleman named Albert stole her heart. The two were married later that year on July 31, 1982, and began their life together in Germantown, Wisconsin. In June of 1989, their ministry work brought them to Grand Marsh, Wisconsin, where they made their home. Together they built a life centered on their faith and ministry while also enjoying traveling and making the most of their time together until Albert’s passing in the fall of 2024.
Laura had a deep appreciation for Jehovah’s creation. She loved flowers, plants, and gardening, and she especially enjoyed feeding the birds and watching the many creatures that found their way to her yard. One particularly memorable highlight for her was the excitement of seeing a pair of bears visit her yard. She also loved traveling and visiting new places, including trips to Switzerland with Albert to visit his family.
More recently, she cherished a special train trip to Montana with her dear friend Mary, where she delighted in seeing the beauty of the mountains. Laura was known for her generosity and hospitality. She loved spending time with friends and family and often enjoyed treating them to lunch, especially at the Family Affair restaurant in Friendship. Her warmth, kindness, and joyful spirit touched many lives, and she will be deeply missed by her family, congregation, and community.
Laura was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Albert; her parents, Doug and Donna Wildman; and her sister, Linda.
She is survived by her brother, Phillip; her nieces, Michelle, Autumn, and Jaed; her nephews, LaMont, Ben, Charlie, and Jon; several great-nieces and great-nephews whom she loved dearly; and many cherished friends who were like family to her—chosen brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews—whose lives were deeply touched by her love and friendship.
Visitation and Funeral
Friends and family are warmly invited to a visitation on April 25th at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1826 State Hwy 13, Friendship, WI, from 12:00–1:00 p.m., followed by the funeral talk at 1:00 p.m. Laura’s faith in Jehovah and her hope in the Bible’s promise of a future paradise sustained her throughout her life, and those who loved her look forward to the time when that hope will be fulfilled.
I haven’t seen Laura since we were kids, but She was always one of my favorite cousins. Life’s paths take us in many different directions. Sadly I see we could of met up in Friendship where Bob & I own land near there, & visit during the summer. To think we were so close to each other and not knowing until too late. Laura….you always had & will have a place in my heart. R.I.P. Cuz.
Laura had a special way of looking at life with joy and wonder! Her smile and laugh always made everything better. She was a good friend to many and despite trials she kept going. She was one of the people that helped encourage a love for the Bible and teaching others about it in me. When our family moved up north to Adams Friendship she would pick me up and take me with her to visit different ones. She would ask me questions and really seemed to listen even though I was 12 or 13 at the time. She would regularly spend time with us kids and had all sorts of games and outings for us.
She also gave me good advice as I became an older teenager and always made me feel loved anytime I saw her and Albert. I will never forget her driving all the way to come to my father’s funeral in 2014 even though she was having health issues at the time. She gave me such comfort!
She will be missed!
I can’t wait to see Laura in paradise on earth with her Albert healthy and happy again!
Always a smile. Laura will be missed.
I knew Laura many years ago
She was a very dear person. I remember her very fondly.
Laura was such a sweet lady. We enjoyed visiting with her and Albert at the library. It was a pleasure to know them both.
