Ronald Lee Mueller

Born on August 11, 1944, Ron was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated from Ritenour High School and went on to work there for over 30 years, dedicating much of his life to the school and its community.

Ron was a loving father, grandfather, and uncle who treasured the time he spent with his family. He enjoyed going to church, working on word search books, and, most of all, being surrounded by the people he loved. These simple but meaningful joys were an important part of his life, and the memories he created with his family will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

Ron is survived by his daughter, Nina M. Merz (Mueller); his son, Nicholaus S. Mueller; his son-in-law, Jason E. Merz; his grandchildren, Shelby R. Merz, Teresa M. Merz, and Logan M. Merz; his sister, Mary Taylor; and his brother, Gary Mueller.

Ron was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Diane G. Mueller, who passed away in 2017 from Alzheimer's disease. They shared 40 years of marriage, building a life and family together. Ron will be laid to rest beside Diane at Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens, where they will be together once more in eternal rest.
