Judith M. “Judy” Mueller, age 64, passed away peacefully at her home in Eau Claire on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 following a courageous battle with cancer. She was born August 1, 1943 in the Township of Bern, Marathon Co., WI to proud parents Ervin and Marion (nee Kuck) Oldenhoff. In 1961, Judy graduated from Athens High School. Two short years later, she married her grade school sweetheart, Larry Mueller, on January 26, 1963 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Athens. They moved to Eau Claire three years later to raise their family. Judy was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who also provided in-home daycare for more than 35 years. A member of VFW Post #305 Ladies Auxiliary, she led the project to organize the Eau Claire Room for the recommissioning of the Battleship Wisconsin (BB-64). Her interests included wildlife watching, playing with Russell and Krista’s dogs, gardening, sewing, embroidering, and cooking and baking for her family. She also enjoyed dining out with family and friends and she loved to discuss religion and politics. Although a Green Bay Packer Fan, her favorite team was the Miami Dolphins.
