Adonie Mueller

Adonie Kieke Mueller, 93, wife of Fritz A. Mueller, died March 27, 2015 at College Station Medical Center. Adonie Mueller was born July 23, 1921 in Washington County to Hermann and Elsie Schoenberg Kieke. On June 19, 1940, she was married to Fritz Mueller at Martin Luther Lutheran Church of Carmine.

A wonderful cook, she was well-known for her delicious homemade cinnamon rolls and turkey and dressing, which she lovingly prepared for her family each Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Fried chicken was her specialty for Sunday lunches after church. Gardening was a favorite hobby, but she most enjoyed precious time spent taking care of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was never too tired or too busy to care for sick or healthy kids, and was known to say that she would rather see them being bad than being sick.
