Opal Muth Obituary
Born on January 9, 1935 in Breckenridge, Minnesota to Ruby and Lee Davison, second generation Irish immigrants and farmers. She was the youngest of five children. She graduated from Tintah High School in 1953. While continuing her college education, she married her husband Ervin on August 27, 1955. They moved to Mound, Minnesota in 1962 where they raised their four children. Opal's intellect and commitment to education resulted in both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Education. She taught for 30 years at Mound-Westonka schools and made an indelible difference in the lives of her special education students.
Opal loved spending time with her family and friends in Mound, at their lake home on Lobster Lake (later their permanent home) and their winter home in Mesa, Arizona. Opal was an accomplished bridge player and sought after partner in multiple weekly bridge leagues.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 70 years; her children Becky Collison (Craig), Mark (Deanna), Jon (Chris), and Brent (Cathy); sister Alice Hawes; sister in-law Linda Zismer; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Donna Rosenkranz, Lucy Mahler, and infant brother Clark Davison.
A service celebrating Opal's life will be held November 21st at 11:00 am at Calvary Lutheran Church, 605 Douglas St. in Alexandria with visitation one hour prior starting at 10:00 am.
