Wanell (Tungate) Mueller

Wanell (Tungate) Mueller, 85, of Greensburg, Indiana, passed away peacefully on October 21, 2026, in Greensburg, Indiana. She was born on April 25, 1941, in Greensburg to Albert Lee Tungate and Nannie Jane Tungate, both of whom preceded her in death.

Wanell spent many years working at Big John's, Trackside Cafe, and Ranch Supermarket, where she became a familiar face to many in her community. She was a proud member of the Eagles and the American Legion.

Wanell enjoyed the simple things in life that brought her the greatest happiness. She dearly loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, enjoyed a refreshing glass of iced tea, and loved getting out to dance at the clubs. She treasured time spent visiting with her brothers and sisters and held a special place in her heart for her beloved dog, Lucy. Her love for family and the memories she made with those closest to her will be cherished for years to come.

Wanell is survived by her children, Emma (Terry) Bishop, Darryl Tungate, John Tungate, and Nyla Jewell; her grandchildren, Terry Jr., James, Amanda, Brandon, Damon, Samantha, and Kattie; and her great-grandchildren, Tyler, Toby, Cherysh, Neil, and Evelynn.

She is also survived by her siblings, Everett Tungate, David Tungate, Dorothy (Larry) Miller, Doren Clarkson, Charlene (Tom) Melton, and Mary Jane (Mitchell) Smith, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Wanell was preceded in death by her sister, Betty Lou (Tungate) Amburgey; her brothers, Granville Tungate, Lee (Linda) Tungate, Bill Tungate, Charlie Tungate, and Marvin Tungate; her grandson, Aaron Michael; and her daughters-in-law, Brenda Tungate, and Donna Tungate.

Wanell will be remembered for her love of family, her enjoyment of dancing and visiting loved ones, and the special moments she shared with those around her. Though she will be deeply missed, the memories she leaves behind will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
