Kenneth Phillips officiating. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 9 AM to 9 PM Tuesday at Parkway Funeral Service, 2330 Tyler Parkway, Bismarck, where a vigil will be held at 7 PM. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service at the church. Monica was born on August 31, 1924, in Katharinental, Russia, the daughter of Georg and Johanna Hoff Heiser. She was raised and educated in both Russia and Hannover, Germany. She moved from Germany to the United States in 1951, where she lived with relatives and worked in New Salem, ND. Monica met Edward Huck later that year at the Casa Loma Inn and they were wed on October 13, 1952, at St. Martins Catholic Church in Center, ND, by Fr. William Moelter. They made their home on the Huck family farm seven miles Southwest of Hannover, ND, before living in New Salem and then rural Dunn Center, ND. Ed and Monica returned and took over the Huck farm in 1961. The Lord was the centerpiece of her life, and the basis for raising her children in the Christian Faith. She was a caring and loving wife, mother, and grandmother, who cherished every moment spent with family. She is remembered for preparing delicious family holiday meals, and the aroma of baked goods, such as her famous snowballs, could often be enjoyed coming from her kitchen. Monica worked on the farm alongside Ed by milking cows, raising chickens and turkeys, and tending garden. She lovingly made afghans for all her children and grandchildren. Monica is survived by her husband of almost 55 years, Edward Huck, Mandan, ND; three sons, Donald Carol Huck, Mandan, ND, Jerome Shirley Huck, Jamestown, ND, and Tony Gretta Huck, Dickinson, ND; two daughters, Delores Jim Kary, Beach, ND, and Annette Mark Rauhauser, Turtle Lake, ND; 14 grandchildren, Eric Saundra Huck, Phoenix Huck, Tyler Huck, Tristen Huck, Krystle Kary, Lindsey Kary, Marisa Rauhauser, Lauren Kary, Ryan Rauhauser, Trevor Huck, James Kary, Nathan Rauhauser, Jordon Huck, and Fallon Huck; and one sister, Julita Lauinger. She was preceded in death by her parents; one son, Michael Huck; one grandson, Travis Huck; five brothers; and four sisters.
