Helen was born on August 6, 1907 to Robert and Olga (Steinhauser) Tischendorf in the Town of Mayville. Helen attended Cleveland School in the Town of Mayville. She helped on the family farm and did housework for various families before her marriage to John Mueller on January 4, 1928 in Medford.

Together they farmed in the Town of Holton until 1954, moving to Dorchester in 1962. Helen was a kind and giving person who was always willing to help. Helen worked for Mildy's Dress Shop and Maurina's Shoe Store in Dorchester, and did child care for family and friends.

She was a volunteer for the Dorchester Nutrition Center and a volunteer driver for the Clark County Commission of Aging and volunteered her time for church dinners. Helen was a lifetime member of Peace United Church of Christ, serving on the Church Council, church choir and the Ladies Guild.
