Anne Mueller

Anne Mueller, 97, of Danville, IL passed away on June 14, 2021 at Hawthorne Inn in Danville. She was born on September 28, 1923 to Mary and Charles Jackse. Anne married Fred Mueller on October 18, 1952 in Danville, IL and they shared 65 years of marriage before his passing in 2018. She is also preceded in death by her sister, Mary Bonner, her brother, Joe Jackse, and a great grandson.

She is survived by her children; Mary Joanne 'Jody' Mueller of Danville, IL, Thomas (Sherry) Mueller of Dallas, TX; Barbara (Thomas) Smith of St. Charles, MO, Karen (Richard) Tulli, of Dallas, TX, 3 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She was a very proud grandmother and great-grandmother.

Anne enjoyed projects that involved needle and thread. Whether it was sewing, crocheting, knitting, needlepoint, or crewel her workmanship was superb. She made all of the clothes her three girls wore growing up. In retirement, she volunteered at the local hospital, crocheting tiny soft baby caps for newborns to wear home and delivered them by the boxful to the OB unit. She also loved gardening and flowers of all kinds; throughout her life she enjoyed having a big vegetable garden in the backyard, including planting, harvesting, and canning. Friends and neighbors shared in bounty from the garden because it produced so much. For a time, she also tended the flowers that beautified the landscaping at St. Pauls Church.

A Christian Mass of Burial for Anne will be held at 10:00 am on Monday, June 21, 2021 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Danville with Fr. Bo Schmitt officiating. She will be laid to rest at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery next to Fred. Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Danville are in charge of arrangements.
