Carol Mueller left this life to join her loving husband Glen (d. 2023) in eternity in the arms of our Lord and Savior on February 10, 2026. Her heart was on borrowed time since her triple bypass in 2015. We are grateful for the additional 10 years she shared with us. She was surrounded by loved ones as she took her last breath.

She retired working at State Farm where she made some wonderful friends, especially Patricia Bachman.
Carol was a talented crafter and loved Hallmark movies. She was a former choir director at Holy Family Catholic Church and attended Ascension Catholic Church.
Welcoming her in heaven was her husband of nearly 53 years, Glenwood Mueller, her father, Francis “Rocky” Martella, her mother, Margaret “Peggy” Martella (nee Deegan) along with beloved pets Sugar, Jaycee, Kali and granddog Serendipity.

Gina- I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I loved her so much and have so many great memories of her. She was smart, funny, loving and protective. Working with your Mom and Idell (and Janice) at Dr. Hales office made some of the best memories of my life, and I am so thankful for that. Sending you love and prayers, Kathy
