Mildred Mary Ramler was born August 15, 1923, in Albany, Minnesota to Henry and Anna (Busch) Ramler. She was united in marriage to Lawrence Henry Mueller on October 11, 1949, at Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Albany. Millie and Lawrence farmed north of Melrose for almost 40 years until building their home in Melrose. In 2013 she moved to ParkView Assisted Living in Melrose. 

Millie was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Melrose, Christian Mothers, and St. Elizabeth’s Society.  Millie loved her time spent with her family and she adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Faith, family, and farm meant everything to her.   Millie enjoyed spending time at the cabin on Big Birch Lake entertaining family and friends, dancing, quilting, playing card games, crocheting, and traveling.  There always was a jigsaw puzzle ready to be worked on with others.  She will be remembered for her kindness, charming wit, and great sense of humor.

Survivors include her children, Jerry Mueller of Melrose, Marv (Wanda) Mueller of Healdsburg, California, Bonnie (Rick) Funk of Avon, Bob (Theresa) Mueller of Sauk Centre, Karen (John) Ellering of Cape Coral, Florida, Lois Mueller of St. Cloud, and Jan (Kurt) Wolter of Ham Lake; 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren; and sisters, Rose Mary Binek of Little Falls and Dolores Philippi of St. Cloud; sister-in-law, Katherine “Kitty” Mueller of Melrose.

Millie was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Lawrence Mueller on September 28, 2011; son Duane Mueller; brothers, Clarence, Ambrose, Roman, and Melvin Ramler; and sister, Bernice Senger.

Thank you to the staff of Parkview Assisted Living and CentraCare Hospice for the excellent care, kindness, and friendship that Millie received.
