The GoFundMe fundraiser describes the family as facing “the sudden loss of Cesilie,” along with “funeral expenses, everyday needs, education decisions and expenses (Cesilie homeschooled the boys) and the long road ahead.”

The campaign also includes personal reflections about Cesilie Huebner and her family. “In one instant, Cesilie was taken from them in a car accident,” Biehl said, adding that Cory and the couple’s four sons, ages 13, 11, 8, and 6, are learning “how to carry it forward without her.”

Biehl said Cesilie Huebner once wrote of her husband that, “second only to Jesus, he was the best decision of her life,” calling him “her first choice, her favorite human, her home this side of heaven.”

Funeral arrangements will be held Feb. 26, 2026, at First Baptist Church in O’Fallon, IL.

Visitation is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Feb. 26, followed by the funeral service at 1 p.m.
