Jacqueline "Jackie" Theresa Mueller (nee Kruse), of O Fallon, MO, passed away Sunday, November 1, 2026 at the age of 89. She was the beloved wife of the late Donald F. Mueller; cherished daughter of the late Henry and Catherine Kruse; devoted mother of Bryan (Kimberly) Mueller, Kevin (Laura) Mueller, Gary (Tammy) Mueller, Tracey (Diane) Mueller, Donna Mueller, Christopher Mueller, and Sarah (Robert) Ingram; loving grandma to all of her grandchildren, Morgan Mueller, Adam Mueller, Danielle (John) Lowe, Lindsay (Curt) Gallagher, Luke (Angela) Mueller, David (Chris) Mueller, Iva (Oscar) Jarpa, Frankee (Darric) Schwentker, Robbee (Bailey) Mueller, Joey Mueller, Shaun Mueller, Samuel (Amber) Mueller, Shelby Mueller, Zoe Wilmesherr, Tanner Mueller, Quinn Ingram, Ethan Ingram, Chelsey Sample; and her great-grandchildren, Emma, Camden, Harper, Addie, Dakota, Sawyer, Augustin, Vinny, Enzo, Haven, Owen, Aiden, Aubrey, Bryce, Jaxon, Blake, Sage, Monroe, Drew, and Theodore; dear sister of Henry "Sonny" Kruse and Lois "Butchie" Hamilton.

She was preceded in death by siblings; Kathleen Cook, Elmer Kruse, Ethel Cochran, Patricia Schone, Dorothy Garey, Esther Swagman, and Joan Krekeler.

Jackie was devout in her catholic faith. It is what maintained her through her health challenges. Regardless of any obstacles, she faced, she always returned strong and steadfast in her Faith in the Lord.

She loved going fishing, taking trips and exploring the world with her true love, husband, Donnie.

She was an avid Cardinal baseball fan and enjoyed many games at Busch Stadium and rarely missed a game on TV.

Her love language was a clean house and caring for anyone who needed care. Whether it was her husband for many years, her siblings, her kids and grandkids or a friend. She always showed up for you when it mattered. And when she wasn’t sure what else she could do, she was going to make you a strawberry dessert.

Jackie was a devoted mother to her kids, her kid's friends, our cousins and the entire neighborhood. Everyone was welcome.

She was loved by many friends and kept an active social life. Playing games and having breakfast to stay close.

She spoke honestly, sometimes brutally honest, but she did it with love.

Perhaps most of all she loved being on her tractor and keeping her yard spotless of any sticks or leaves.

She adored her grandkids and looked forward to spending one-on-one time with them at their annual Christmas dinners.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Jacqueline's name to St. Jude Children's Hospital or St. Paul Catholic Church.
