I worked with Temple many, many years ago and I'm so sorry to hear she passed away. She was sweet and kind and passionate about life. I'm so sorry I didn't keep in touch with her.  The years slip away and the people we love are gone so quickly.  We worked together at Gestalt Associates and then when the company was sold, Gestalt Productions.  I loved her energy and her enthusiasm.  Rest in peace, dear Temple. 

I am so sorry for the loss of Temple. She was our graphic designer for thirty years. In addition to being an extremely talented designer, we was always so kind and always positive. One of the things I most admired about Temple - family was always first. She was so proud of her family.  And she should be - she has two wonderful children and a great husband.

Again, I am so sorry for your loss.  


Temple and I spent many pleasant hours chatting and laughing during various holiday gatherings over the years.  My son, Alexander, eagerly attended these functions only if Elizabeth was also going to be there.   Temple was so vivacious and clearly adored her family.  I am greatly saddened that she will not experience the joy of watching Ian and Elizabeth grow into the caring, strong and responsible people she has raised them to be.  

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Temple- we have known each other for many, many years, and whether it had been two years or two months you always made us feel so connected. You were good like that. I distinctly remember running into you and Stuart at the Chart House on a very, very special day - you know what that was and I was so happy for you both. Our paths crossed over the years at the ice rink, cub scouts and high school for our boys. I also ran into you frequently at Safeway and enjoyed our chats about the kids and life in general. I will miss all of those things. What I know more than anything is how fiercely and totally you loved Stuart, Ian and Elizabeth. They were your life and every breath you took. They know that- as do we. You are missed my sweet and dear friend. All my love sweet Temple. 

Well Temple,  now your mom can trim your hair for you again.  We will miss your generosity and general love for humanity.  You made an example of how to fully engage in this life.  Blessing to Ian and Elizabeth and your beloved husband.

Temple was so kind and she was always ready to help others. She loved her family and her friends. We will all miss her.

Temple was the Mount Vernon DAR Chapter Chair for the DAR Good Citizen Award Committee for many years.  Her dedication to education and volunteerism was invaluable to the success of this committee.    A few weeks ago we had a wonderful conversation about the DAR Good Citizen Award Committee.  She will be greatly missed and we certainly want to acknowledge her many contributions.  My sympathy goes out to her family at this very sad time.

I vaguely remember Temple. Hardly at all in fact. I've played music a good part of my life, and one day, shared to my FB timeline, there appeared a picture of me, with my band. It was from a New Year's  Eve party we entertained when I was young. It was quite a remarkable photograph. Credited to Temple musselman, I thought of how kind and generous it was of her to share this after so many years. We need more like her in this world. Her leaving is truly a loss for us all.

Temple you left us too soon, Your smile and laugh will always be in my heart and mind. I know you will look down upon your family and watch over them and guide them through this most difficult time from your place in Heaven. I pray for them and you that each will find happiness and comfort in knowing that the Lord will watch over all of us.  Love always, Jim, Brenda, Jim                                                                                                                                                              

Temple was a treasured member of Mount Vernon Chapter, NSDAR.  She will be greatly missed.  Our hearts go out to her family members.

Have many fond memories growing up in Ft. Hunt Community of Temple, Norman, Stuart, the O'connors and other Ft. Hunt Alumni. Temple's artsie, outgoing, and joyful personality will be deeply missed and leave a void in our hearts. May, God Bless the Whitsons and the Musslemans during this tough time. With Love and Admiration,  Christopher M. Brill
