Resident of San Francisco
59, passed away on October 19, 2010. Muffie Meier was born on August 24, 1951 in San Francisco, CA to her deceased parents, Allen and Janis Meier, who both moved to San Francisco from Portland, Oregon.

Her sister, Lynn Meier Novelli, her brother-in-law Michael Novelli, and her nephew Alex Novelli
In addition to her sisters, Muffie leaves behind a world filled with friends and family who grieve the loss of an irreplaceable friend. Muffie's life will forever be defined by her fierce loyalty to the ones that she loved, her incredible professional wisdom and the pivotal role she played as an advisor to politicians and political efforts at every level of government, a tireless desire to help those in need, a true appreciation of the "finer things in life", a profound capacity for friendship, and most importantly by her love for her nephew, Allen Ryan.
