Mrs. Hummel was the wife of Burt Hummel and the mother of Kurt Hummel. She died when Kurt was eight years old. Her name, her appearance, and how she met death are all unknown. There is speculation that her name was Elizabeth, because Kurt's middle name is Elizabeth. Burt believes that Kurt's biological mother is there watching over them as shown in Preggers, and it is assumed that he is a Christian because in Furt; Burt and Carole got married in a Church; however, Kurt is an atheist, as revealed in Grilled Cheesus, and so believes that his mother only lives through the impacts she has made in her life on earth.
