She was born in Hazard, Kentucky to John and Dulcie Fugate on January 24, 1940. She graduated from high school and eventually moved to California. There she met her husband Gary Muell at an A&W Drive-in and soon after they married and went on to Fort Carson, Colorado, where her daughter Kristyl was born. She is survived by a loving family (Kristyl, Ernst, Katie, Marco, Parker, Bryan, Mimi, and Nora), and a wonderful group of friends.
She had a passion for collecting dolls and cake decorating. She loved to play games with her family and friends, and most of all spending her days with her husband, Gary, until he passed away a year ago. She will be greatly missed by many.
A funeral service will be held Monday, October 27th, 2025 at Miller-Jones Menifee Memorial Park and Mortuary, 26770 Murrieta Rd., Menifee, CA 92585.
There will be a viewing starting at 11:00 AM, followed by the funeral at 12:00PM. At 1:00PM, a committal service will commence as well. We hope you can attend.
Condolences may be addressed to her daughter, Kristyl Nuckolls at 1422 Hixson Pike, Chattanooga, TN 37405.
