Elly L. Mueller, age 91, of Marshfield, passed away Friday evening, January 27, 2023, at Stoney River Memory Care, Marshfield.

She was born March 12, 1931, to Emil and Erna (Bohl) Beyer who immigrated to the US from Berlin, Germany. While in school and after graduation, she worked for Roddis Plywood Corporation in the office preparing log statements for the checking department. She loved math and working with numbers.

Elly was united in marriage to Donald J. Mueller on September 26, 1953, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Marshfield. Together they farmed in Spokeville on the Mueller home farm until 1959 when they purchased a farm in rural Marshfield. There they raised their two sons, Steven and Terry.

Elly was very talented. Utilizing her knitting, crocheting and quilting skills she made many beautiful items for her family. She also enjoyed baking and always had cookies available for her grandchildren. Elly and Don loved to take trips and often took their grandchildren along. They would take them apple picking in Gays Mills and cherry picking in Algoma and also visited many other places.
