Leo Carl Mueller

Leo Carl Mueller, 96, surrounded by his family, was welcomed to his heavenly home on Friday, April 5, 2024 at Serenity Villa in Campbellsport. He was born on April 18, 1927, at home, in the Town of Ashford, Fond du Lac County. He was the son of the late Joseph John and Rose Christina (nee Staehler) Mueller, Sr. Leo was baptized by Reverend Bernard July at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Campbellsport, WI on April 24, 1927.

Leo is survived by his siblings, Harold E. (Kathryn) Mueller of Kewaskum, and sister, Rose E. Guell of Eden; sisters-in-law, Patricia M. Mueller of Kewaskum and Beatrice Mueller of Campbellsport; and twenty-one nieces and nephews, their families, and other relatives and friends.

In addition to his parents, Leo was preceded in death by his siblings, Elizabeth Theusch, Joseph J. Mueller, Jr., Olive Batzler, Rita Spoerl, Lloyd R. Mueller; sister-in-law Arlene Mueller of Campbellsport; brothers-in-law, Ed Theusch and John Spoerl of Kewaskum, Harry Batzler of Lomira, Gordon “Bob” Guell of Eden, and nephew, John H. Spoerl of West Bend.

Leo attended Hillside Public School, a one-room schoolhouse near his home, and St. Kilian Catholic School. Leo worked on the family dairy farm which he later purchased from his parents. He also worked at the Theresa Canning Company and Burns Beef Farm until he retired in 1999. He then moved to the Kewaskum area with his eldest sister, Elizabeth, who had been recently widowed.

Leo valued his faith, family, farming, and preserving agricultural land above all. He had an incredible memory. He enjoyed revisiting stories about family and neighbors, and the various types and brands of farm machinery he owned and worked with over the course of his farming life. He was interested in planting crops, trees and the preservation of farm and wooded lands.

Mass of Christian Burial for Leo will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at St. Matthew Catholic Church (406 East Main Street – Campbellsport, WI - 53010) with Father Neil Zinthefer officiating. Burial at St. Matthew Catholic Cemetery to follow.

Leo’s family will greet relatives and friends at Church on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of Mass.
