Leopoldine Huf

Leopoldine “Poldie” Huf, age 87, of Hudsonville, saw the face of her Lord and Savior on Saturday, March 26, 2022. She was preceded in death by six of her siblings and a precious great-grandson, Wesley Vance Mullikin. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 69 years, Alois “Al” Huf; children, Jana and Denny Gale, Marie Nordstrom and Bruce Peckham, Debra and Mark Owens, Joe and Tami Huf, Cristie Jo and Jerry Johnston, Susie and Bruce Kramer; 17 grandchildren; 38 great-grandchildren; brother, Tony Kellner; sister, Anna Sweeney; extended family and friends. Poldie and Al came to the United States in 1956, from Germany, after coming to know the Lord through missionaries Charles and Edna Lukesh. Poldie and Al’s journey from humble beginnings was not easy. Still, many others helped along the way, particularly Henrietta and Gerrit Schut, who sponsored their arrival in Hudsonville, Michigan. Poldie was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and helpmate to Al. She partnered with him to raise 20,000 laying hens during their years on the farm and joined him in building the original By*Pas business. Poldie and Al spent many years ministering with Forgotten Man Ministries to inmates at the Ottawa County Jail. Years ago, they also ministered at various local churches by singing for special music. Because of her deep faith in the Lord Jesus, her last wish was that no one is left behind and all may come to know the Lord. A special thanks to the “angels” at Sheldon Meadows and Spectrum Hospice for the loving, compassionate care they gave Mom. On Wednesday, April 20, 2022, a memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. at Jenison Bible Church, 6360 14th Avenue, Hudsonville, MI, with Rev. Jerry Johnston officiating. Burial has taken place at Floral View Memorial Gardens. Relatives and friends may meet the family Wednesday from 10-10:45 a.m. before the service at the church. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Samaritan’s Purse or Reach the Forgotten Jail Ministry (FKA Forgotten Man Ministries). 3 John 1:4 “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
