MULLER
Edith Muller
Edith Muller of Winters passed away in Winters on Feb. 1, 2002. Born in Bear River, Utah on June 28, 1913, she was 88 years old.
Mrs. Muller married Frank C. Muller on April 6, 1946 and moved to the Allendale area in 1950 where they had two children. She lived in Winters for the past nine years. She had a passion for working in the yard and tending to her flowers, she loved to garden. Living in Allendale on their little farm gave her plenty of space to do both.
She lost Frank on May 6, 1985 and continued to live on the ranch until 1992. The farm was just too much for her to take care of, so she sold the ranch and bought a home in Winters, which soon had flowers all around the house. She was able to stay there until she took ill in 1998 at which time she moved in with her daughter, Barbara, who took care of her until she earned her wings and went to heaven.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Barbara J. and Terry Karlen of Winters; grandchildren, Ronnie Karlen of Winters, Mary Ann Florney of Fairfield and David Smith of Fairfield.
She was preceded in death by her husband Frank and daughter Anna May Smith in 1981.
