Christine Lee Mueller
Oct. 6, 1949 - Sept. 12, 2022
CARLOCK - Christine Lee Mueller, 72, of Carlock, passed away Monday, September 12, 2022, at 8:53 PM at her home.
A funeral service officiated by Reverend Bryan Burris, will take place Monday, September 19, 2022, at 11:00 AM at Carlock Christian Church. A visitation will be held Sunday, September 18, 2022, from 2:00 - 5:00 PM at the church.
Christi was born October 6, 1949, in Peoria to Keith and Grace Metzger. They preceded her in death. She married Ned Mueller on September 23, 1969, in Peoria. He survives.
She is also survived by two daughters: Amy Beth Mueller of Eureka, and Tracy Lyn (Greg) Pujia of Lone Tree, CO; four grandchildren: Alexandra Grace (Kameron) Carpenter, Alexa Pujia, Jaden Pujia and Dante Pujia; one great-granddaughter, Zoey Carpenter and a second great granddaughter on the way. She is also survived by one brother, Bradford (Susan) Metzger of Flower Mound, TX; and two sisters: Kari (Thomas) Miller of Tucson, AZ, and Kimberly (Joseph) Maiorello of Palatine, IL.
Christi was a dedicated homemaker, loving wife, nurturing mother and an extraordinary Nana. Christi loved her family more than anything and was known as the glue that held her family together. She lived a selfless life serving others and seamlessly placed a smile on the face of anyone whose path she crossed. Christi loved to travel with her family. She especially loved her trips to Bar Harbor, ME, Denver, CO, and the Red Rocks Resort in Summerlin, NV. She will be missed beyond measure.

It´s been 4 lousy months and it´s still very raw and so sad. I think about Christi every day and still shed tears but try to remember all the good times. It won´t be the same coming back to Carlock without seeing her and helping at the farm or going out to eat. At least she´s with Grace and Keith probably gambling and laughing while she´s watching over everyone. Miss you a lot.

So sorry for your loss. Knew Christy (then Metzger) during my many years in Carlock. And she visited in Denver more recently, and we saw each other when she visited NYC. She was such a dear and will be missed by many.

Christi was like a work Grandma to me. She was always there to talk and of course make me laugh. There are no words to express how amazing of an individual she was.
