Mueller, Mildred Irene "Mike" Age 91, of St. Anthony Village, MN, passed away peacefully at home on June 1, 2022. Born in Manistique, Michigan on April 5, 1931 to Fred and Ruth Kerridge. In 1952 she married her high school sweetheart Van. Together they pursued their educations and received PhDs in the field of education. Those careers ultimately brought them to St. Anthony. Mike loved to learn and travel. Accompanied by Van, she visited sites across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Her favorite country was Turkey. She also enjoyed time spent at the cottage in Manistique. Her other passions included opera (especially Verdi), Elvis, reading, animals of all kinds, University of Minnesota football and basketball, and her family and friends. She was a proud member of the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa tribe. Mike was preceded in death by husband Van, daughter Edie, parents Fred and Ruth, and brother John. She is survived by daughters Vanessa Mueller (Doug Hodgdon) and Kerry Fritze, grandchildren Kyle (Michael McKay), Ryan (Cassie), Evan, and Loren (Rachel) and six great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the Edith I. Mueller scholarship fund at the School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, or the Eva Burrell Animal Shelter in Manistique. Washburn-McReavy.com
