Flagstaff, AZ. Born May 1st, 1928 in Trinidad, CO, she was the

Delores spent her early years in Trinidad, CO where she met the love
of her life, Joseph F. Muesch. Their family business took them to

Delores was a wonderful cook, homemaker and mother. Through the
years she was involved at many levels of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,
was active in the PTA, the St. Pius X Rosary Altar Society and the
Northern Arizona Porcelain Artists Guild. She was a talented artist
whose media included quilting, needlework, oil and acrylic painting,
ceramics, china painting and doll making. She also enjoyed
traveling, camping and the outdoors. Although she had many interests
her family was the center of her life.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph, and her sister,
Bette Scherer.

Survivors include her four children: Gary Muesch of Lakeside, Jolene
(Arnold) Ragsdale of Tualatin, Oregon, Mark (Donna) Muesch of
