Estelle Mueth

Estelle Mueth, nee Kreher, 88, of Paderborn, IL, born December 16, 1935, died Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at Cedar Trails Senior Living, Freeburg, IL.

Mrs. Mueth was a member of St. Michael Catholic Church, Paderborn, IL, and a member of the Ladies Sodality. Her love of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was greater than her love of quilting and stitching, which says a lot about the love she had for them.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Victor F. Mueth, whom she married on November 26, 1957, and who died on March 26, 2016; a son, Wayne E. Mueth; her parents, Edward and Mathilda, nee Maurer, Kreher; three brothers, Clyde Kreher, Bert Kreher and Joe (Evelyn) Kreher; four sisters and brothers-in-law, Cecelia (Art) Schaefer, Ethel (Fred) Voegele, Marie (John) Mueth, and Esther (Edmund) Eckart; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Michael and Martha, nee Neff, Mueth; and a brother-in-law, Robert Speichinger.

Surviving are six grandsons, Benjamin (Rebecca) Mueth, Jonathan (Holly) Mueth, Tyler (Ashley) Mueth, Andrew (Jenna) Mueth, William (Sarah) Mueth, and Dylan (fiancée Jessica Karwoski) Mueth; 12 great-grandchildren, Braydon, Bryson, Jeremiah, Anna, Stella, Barrett, Amelia, Clara, Bradley, Landon, Danielle, and Rudy; a daughter-in-law, Jane M. Mueth (Duane Waeltz); a sister, Ruth Speichinger; a sisters-in-law, Anna Mae Kreher and Ethel M. Kreher; and numerous nieces and nephews.
