DOROTHY MULLER
She has been an extraordinary woman who lived a full, happy life, full of the love of her children, grandchildren, nephews, children-in-law, lifelong friends, people who had the joy of knowing her, treating her and coming to love her like everyone else. They surrounded her.
Of Irish ancestry, she was born in this country, the United States of America, nearly ninety years ago, which she would have turned next August. She preferred to leave for the Eternal Peace of the Infinite before fulfilling them. Maybe it was one of her whims, who knew!
She worked a lifetime. She was an example of an honest, tireless life, capable of taking care of herself, facing everything with height and dignity, as only the great women of the world do. Even the separation from her husband stoically overcame her, continuing her productive life without fainting.
Dorothy was a very beautiful woman. In her youth, she could be said to have descended from Olympus, with the authorization of the gods, who allowed her to join mortals to enjoy that incomparable gift. In her later years, she maintained her stately beauty with great dignity.
At a very young age, she met Ernst Muller, of German ancestry, but also born in the United States. They fell in love and got married like any excited young couple. He was a man of Art: actor and theater director, and writer. They lived their love intensely, eventually having six children: Ernst, Pat, Gretchen, July, Patrick and Jane. They, in turn, gave Dorothy beautiful grandchildren, and one of them has even given her a beautiful great-granddaughter. The marriage lasted as long as it had to, they separated, but her life continued forward, with her strengthened and determined not to let herself be defeated by adversity.
Today she has left us full of pain and sadness, but knowing that Dorothy gave everything of herself for her family, that she knew how to be kind, cordial and very loving. All of us, in due time, have received from her her affection and tenderness, as well as the stories of her life that have given us the example to follow.
Rest in Peace, Dorothy. We know that today you will be enjoying a pleasant conversation with that adorable grandson who left before you,
Owen, so beautiful and full of virtues.
Grandmother and Grandson, beings of incalculable value.
