Lorraine A. Mueller

Lorraine A. Mueller, age 91, passed away at the Courtyard of Oshkosh on Saturday, July 3, 2021. She was born on September 29, 1929, in Oshkosh, the daughter of Ted and Linda (Roebke) Dreyer. She graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1947. Lorraine married Roy Mueller on June 3, 1950, in Oshkosh. They were married 37 years prior to his death on November 19, 1987.

She worked as a bookkeeper at Wisconsin Public Service in her early years, followed by a part-time position at 4imprint. She was a lifelong and active member of Trinity Lutheran Church. She enjoyed the Trinity Sociables, the Dorcas Circle, and counting money with her dear friend Pat Smith. Lorraine enjoyed many fun times playing cards with John and Shirley Noe, Maxine Klumb, Delores Nourse, Marilyn Allison and other close friends at Lakefront Manor where she lived for 18 years. She went on casino and other trips with good friend Karen Kuhn, played on cribbage leagues, played bingo with good friend Kathy Schell, and enjoyed talks with her longtime friend, Viv Haas.

Lorraine is survived by her daughter Debbie (Bruce) McMannes; sons Randy (Rita) Mueller and Gary “Boomer” Mueller; daughter-in-law Kandy (Terry) Mueller; granddaughters Gretchen (Daniel) Kloehn, Karli (Jason) Reisdorf, and Allison Mueller; six great-grandchildren Shaelynn, Ken Jr., Alayna, Riley, Memphis, and Naima; and nephew Kenneth Bass.

In addition to her parents, Lorraine was preceded in death by her two sons Terry and Dennis Mueller, granddaughter Emily, sister-in-law JoAnn Bass, niece LuAnn Bass, and her dear friend for many years Arlene (Phil) Genz Costa.

Per Lorraine's wishes, a private service was held. Lorraine’s children would like to extend a very special thank you to three exceptional nurses: Roxanne, Amy, and Carrie. Also, a special thank you to Bobbi Jo from Courtyard (who went above and beyond to make some of their mom’s final wishes happen), and Bobbi Jo’s great team of caregivers.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial will be established at Trinity Lutheran Church, 370 Bowen St. Oshkosh, WI 54901.
