The Rev. Scott Kirchoff officiated. Interment was held at the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery, rural Osmond.
Casketbearers were Jason Kumm, Todd Kumm, Brad Johnson, Bruce Johnson, Michael Asmus and Christopher Brandt.

Cindy died Oct. 11, 2023, at the Osmond General Hospital, Osmond.
Cindy was born July 19, 1953, to Henry and Henrietta (Behrmann) Huner, Napoleon, Ohio. She was born and raised on a farm in northwest Ohio, attended St. John Lutheran School and Ridgeville Corners High School, graduating from Napoleon High School. She went on to attend St. John College, Winfield, Kan., and moved to Osmond, where she served Immanuel Lutheran Church as a parish worker.
She soon decided that she would never marry a farmer, a Kumm, or drive on country roads. God had other plans, and a good sense of humor, as she married a local farmer, Marvin Kumm, Aug. 6, 1977, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Osmond. God blessed Cindy and Marv’s love for each other with 46 years of marriage and four sons, David and wife, Sarah, Lincoln; Jeff and fiancée, Kyleigh Lewis, Omaha; Rich and wife, Emily, Lincoln; and Joel and wife, Erin, Osmond.
Cindy was a wonderful grandmother to her six grandchildren, Trenton, Taryn, Evynn, Elliot, Grayson and one on the way. She enjoyed attending their activities, watching and caring for them, and playing games with them. Her boys, their families and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Family gatherings, holidays and card games with her boys brought her laughter and joy.
Cindy was a woman of faith. She faithfully served Immanuel Lutheran Church and School in many ways: as a parish worker, a volunteer school librarian, a Sunday School teacher, Vacation Bible School leader, church dinner coordinator, a member of Ladies Aid, funeral luncheon committee, and member of the Legion Auxiliary PEO. Cindy also loved music and enjoyed singing in the church choir.
Outside of church, Cindy served on the Library Board for the City of Osmond. Cindy also gave back to the community as a substitute teacher for over a decade and enjoyed serving the students and staffs in Creighton, Plainview, Osmond, Wausa, Randolph, St. Ludger’s, St. Mary’s and other parochial schools in northeast Nebraska. She treasured the relationships she built with students and staff members, related well to students of all ages and impacted many lives.
In addition to her husband, Marvin, and her four sons, Cindy is survived by her sisters, Harriet Brandt, Marshfield, Wis., and Barbara Huner (Kathy Crier), Longmont, Colo.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Henrietta Huner.
