Wilma J. Mueller

 

Wilma Josephine (Kiral) Mueller, 86, passed away on Sunday, August 13, 2023, at Sauer Health Care.

She was born March 22, 1937, to Joseph and Virginia (Nagle) Kiral.  Wilma married Ronald Mueller on November 10th, 1956, and they spent over 66 cherished years together. 

Wilma enjoyed sewing, gardening, baking, and hosting family gatherings whenever she had the chance. She and Ron both shared a love of classic country music, traveling, and putting puzzles together. Besides attending numerous concerts, festivals, and music venues, they also took many trips throughout the country. 

Wilma’s employment included Rush Products and Herff Jones, but her true passion was being a farm wife. She meticulously kept records for their family farm, as well as worked in the barn and in the field. 

Wilma is survived by her husband Ron; her children, Steve (Pam) Mueller, Linda (Ron) Speltz, Theresa (Kevin) Redig, and Kevin (Becky) Mueller; her brothers, Raymond (Nancy) Kiral, and Lyle (Marylin) Kiral; her sister-in-law, Anne Kiral; her grandchildren, Brenda Bever, Eric (Melissa) Speltz, DJ (Jenee) Speltz, Dustin Speltz, Brittany (Kevin) Maule, David Redig, Jessi (Dave) Muras, Jamie (McKay) Griffin, Heather (Michael) Waletzki, Courtney (Max) Smith, Ashley Schmalenberg, and Dylan (Cedar) Mueller; 21 great grandchildren, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Joseph Kiral, Jr., and her brother-in law, Robert Mueller.
