Goldie Muelver Obituary
She was born on October 1, 1923, in Presque Isle, a daughter of Claude and Emma (Daisy) Howe.
She married her great love Emil Roy Muelver on May 31, 1941 in Pine City, Minnesota. He preceded her in death on June 8, 2004.
Goldie graduated from Spooner High School with the class of 1941. She lived in Wausau from 1941 until 1954 when she moved to Milwaukee. In 1983 she moved to her home on Waterpower Lake in Deerbrook.
She was a homemaker and foster mother, having opened her home to 36 foster children. She was a member and past secretary of Chapter 23 Civilian Conservation Corps.
She was an avid quilter and crocheter, gifting her family and friends with her beautiful creations. She enjoyed trying out new recipes and baking Emil's favorite apple pie.
Goldie had many loves in her life - her husband Emil, all of her children and grandchildren, her cottage on the lake, watching the birds from her living room window, her cats, her azalea bush, the color pink, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Green Bay Packers and fishing.
Survivors include two daughters, Peggy (special friend Richard Turbin) Burback of New Berlin and Robin (Peter) Murphy of Deerbrook; four sons, Jerry (Susan) Muelver of Oconomowoc, Michael (Emilie) Muelver of Neva, Ricky (Donna) Muelver of Milwaukee and Jeffrey (Robin) Muelver of Deerbrook; 17 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by a son, James; infant son, Phillip; sister, Helen Rappley; and four brothers, Leslie, Clifford, Floyd and Richard.
A time of sharing will be held on Friday, April 8, 2022 at 3:00 pm at Bradley Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 2:00 pm until the time of sharing.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in Goldie's name to the Langlade County Humane Society would be appreciated. Goldie's loving cat, Trouble, came from the shelter, and gave her many years of entertainment and snuggles.
