Laurie J. Kuhn, 66, of Delphi, Indiana, passed away at 4:23 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at home with her loving family by her side.
Laurie was born on Sunday, May 18, 1958, in Carroll, Iowa, to Merlin C. Huisenga and Alice Ann (Irwin) Huisenga.
On Saturday, August 15, 1981, at the Wheatland Presbyterian Church in Breda, Iowa she married the love of her life, Michael Kuhn. They would have been married 44 years and together for 48.
