Volaine Laura Ann Huseman, 93, was received into God’s glory on February 6, 2022, at Clarinda Regional Health Center in Clarinda, Iowa.

Volaine was born to August and Dora Weihe on November 18, 1928, in Fremont, Nebraska. She was baptized on December 9, 1928, at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Fremont, Nebraska. She attended grade school at Trinity Lutheran School. She was confirmed on March 29, 1942. Her confirmation verse was John 6:68.  

Following high school, she attended Concordia Teacher's College in Seward, NE. She began teaching at St. Paul Lutheran School in Yorktown, Iowa, in 1948, where she taught for two years. There, she met John Huseman, and they married on August 5, 1950, at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Omaha, NE.

To this union were born six children: Christine, Gary, Cathy, Jean, Jane, and Luci. They resided on a farm near Yorktown, Iowa. In 1981, John, Volaine, and Luci moved to a home in Yorktown, Iowa.

A devoted wife and mother, Volaine was a faithful member of St. Paul Lutheran Church. There, she taught Sunday School and served on the altar committee, sewing committee, and was an active member of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. She lived her faith and had a passion for Scripture, studying and memorizing Bible passages and hymn verses, even into her later years.
