AUDUBON, PA -- Nancy Mueller, 87, of Audubon, Pennsylvania, died on September 29, 2026. Married to the pastor of Bethany Lutheran Church in Keweenaw, Mohawk, their two children were born before moving in 1969.
Nancy was born on December 25, 1938, at home in Felch, Michigan, to Gustave and Hulda Isaacson. Her mother died in childbirth when Nancy was three. In her elementary school years, Nancy went to live with Albert and Ada Salen in Menominee, Michigan, who raised her. Ada later adopted her.
Nancy graduated from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, and studied at the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago, where she played Snow White in a production of the play broadcast on national television. She worked as a church organist and later as a supervisor at a daycare center.
Nancy married Russell in 1967 and was devoted to her family. Together they had two children, Candace (married to Joseph J. Centeno) and Hans (married to Melissa Shusterman), and four grandchildren: Henry, Seisha, Joseph, and Paris.
Those who knew Nancy will remember her genuinely warm personality and her love of painting, drama, candy making, stained glass, paper making, paper sculpture, gardening, and culinary artistry.
Nancy is survived by her husband, Russell; her brother, Milton; her children; and her grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brothers Arnold, Donald, and Alte. In keeping with her wishes, her body has been donated to science.
