Maria Mueller Charbeneau, born January 21, 1934, went to be with Jesus on Friday, April 7, 2017. Maria was born in Stuttgart, Germany where she developed her strong independent nature during her formative years in WWII Germany.  After the war, Maria married and moved to the U.S. to raise her family.  Maria is survived by her daughters, Carmen Kellogg and husband Roy, and Jodi Willis and husband, Jimmy; grandchildren, Tammy Williams and husband John, Angie Johnson, Rosie Hall and husband Scott, Anita Brown and husband Tony, Trey Willis, and Tara Willis; sisters, Waltraud Hightower and Inge Kosmehl; brother, Karl-Heinz Mueller; 10 great-grandchildren; 8 great-great-grandchildren; and her honorary daughter, Lovenah (Linda) Ramen. Maria's natural attention to detail served her well throughout her career as a quality control inspector in the electronics industry. Maria was a kind, hard working woman who had a zest for life and a heart for helping others. She brought laughter, love, and a helping hand wherever she went. Maria leaves a lasting legacy that will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and the many lives she has touched.
