Anna (Ann) Belle Mueller's Obituary
Anna Belle Mueller (Ann) was born May 24, 1920 and went to be with the Lord on December 21, 2016. She was preceded in death by her parents, Webb and Martha Stagner, Sr., her brother Webb Stagner, Jr., and sister, Juanita Harber. Ann is survived by her daughter, Sharon Melody Hart of Plano; her grandchildren: Angel and husband Scott Benschneider of Plano, Dimi Waters of Rowlett, Cherlyn and husband Michael White of Raleigh, NC and Tanya and husband, Robert Little of Dallas; great grandchildren: Madyson Benschneider, Shawn, McCartney and Haeleigh Waters, Taylor Little and Samuel Ray Reed White. Ann was a long time resident of Dallas and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School. After graduation, she attended secretarial school and then went on to work for Dan Smoot, a Dallas icon. Through the years she worked at Taylor Publishing Co. and was part of her husband’s success in sales. After her husband passed away in 1974, she never re-married and continued to work in retail well into her late 80’s. Ann was a member of Grace Outreach Church in Plano, where many looked forward to her contagious energy and sweet words while serving in the church on Sunday mornings. She loved the Lord and loved to read the Gospel, each time she finished reading the Bible she would write notes, questions and the dates she completed studying God’s word. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Ann was fiercely independent and was always active, working, serving in the church, and most of all loving on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would never deny her love for shopping and especially high heeled shoes. She was an inspiring woman, who didn’t have time to retire or become old. She loved being active and many in her community knew her for her lively spitfire personality. She was the youngest “ninety-something” year old that had never met a stranger. She was authentic, an original, and will be missed enormously by those who knew and loved her. Special thanks to her best friend Sandy Bance for her love and support over many years and Marilyn’s Personal Care Service for making her feel at home and comfortable in her last months. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM, Tuesday, December 27, 2016 at Restland’s Wildwood Chapel. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Grace Outreach Church, Children’s Ministry, 3301 Preston Road, Plano, Texas 75093.
