Hugh H. Buehler

Hugh H. Buehler, age 74, of Winona Lake, passed away on March 9, 2026, at Lutheran Hospital of Fort Wayne. Born on March 20, 1951, in Clinton, Illinois, to Albert and Evelyn Buehler, Hugh graduated from Mt. Pulaski High School in 1969 and went on to study at Lakeland Community College. It was there that he met his future wife, Martha, and the two married on December 21, 1974. Together they raised two children.

Hugh spent many years of his career at OMCO in Pierceton. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor, his big heart, and his genuine kindness toward others. He found great joy on the golf courses at Racoon Run and Rozella, and he remained a lifelong, devoted fan of University of Illinois basketball.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Martha Buehler of Winona Lake; their children, Shannon (Brian) Armstrong of Indianapolis and Matthew (Jennifer) Buehler of Warsaw; and his cherished grandchildren, Avery and Sam Armstrong, and A.J., Tyler, and Elliott Buehler. He is also survived by his sister, Cathy (George) Gerdes. Hugh was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings, Bert Buehler and Wendy Austin.
