TIELAINE KAY LUECHTEFELD

Funeral services honoring her life will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at Schilling Funeral Home with Pastor Samantha Landrus officiating. Visitation for family and friends will be held from 4:00 p.m. until the time of the service on Wednesday at the funeral home. A Nurse Honor Guard ceremony will begin at 6:00 p.m. Burial will take place at Tuscola Cemetery at a later date.
Tielaine was born on March 12, 1946 in Mattoon, the daughter of Louis S. Jr. and Mary Jean (Levy) Wise. She married Terry Luechtefeld on August 3, 1985. He preceded her in death on July 15, 2009.
Survivors include her children, Sherri (Paul) Huckaba of Neoga, IL, Mark Hirsch (Carrie Bridges) of Mattoon, IL and Tina Howell of Mattoon, IL; grandchildren, Dayne (Arielle) Huckaba of Neoga, IL, Whitney Scroggins of Neoga, IL, Mitchel Hirsch (Kailey Rush) of Mattoon, IL, Clayton Hirsch of Mattoon, IL, Zachary (Paige) Howell of Vallonia, IN, Nicholas Howell (Hailey Holt) of Bloomington, IL and Cecil Howell of Mattoon, IL; great-grandchildren, Zyon, Linkin, Gage, Kallum, Ryker and Weston; sister, Terri (Don) Landrus of Mattoon, IL; special friends, Carol Abbott, Diane Pierce and Gigi; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband, Tielaine was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Louis Beck.
Tielaine lived with a heart that never learned how to love halfway. From her early years at the Mattoon Flower Shop to her time at Link Clinic, and later as a nurse after returning to school to earn her LPN, her life’s work was always centered on caring for others. She gave comfort not only through her profession, but through the way she lived, quietly noticing who needed help, who needed encouragement, and who simply needed to be loved.
Outside of work, her spirit shined just as brightly. She found joy and freedom on the track at Coles County Dragway USA, racing her beloved 1966 Chevelle, Mark’s Mom, but her greatest pride and purpose were always her children. She poured her love into them through every stitch she sewed, every costume she made, every late night, every sacrifice no one else ever saw.
Her hands were rarely still, always creating, always giving. She shared her gifts generously, donating handmade items to families in need, in the Coles County, Macon County areas as well as the Danville VA Hospital, and Catholic Church in Mattoon, never seeking recognition, only hoping someone might feel a little warmer, a little less alone. Through her racing family, she helped make sure tables were full at Thanksgiving for those who otherwise might have gone without. She also held a deep respect for veterans and devoted her time to raising money for the Honor Flight program. This program provides aging and terminally ill veterans the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor, free of charge, as a final thank you for their service and sacrifice.
She was the kind of mother everyone hopes for, gentle, fierce, patient, and endlessly devoted. A natural caregiver with the biggest heart, she loved deeply, protected fiercely, and gave selflessly. Even her dogs were family to her, each one cherished and loved as faithfully as she loved the people in her life. Her kindness, warmth, and unconditional love will remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
Memorial donations in her honor may be given to the Coles County Animal Shelter. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schillingfuneralhome.net or Schilling Funeral Home’s page.
