MUELLER Suzanne Nov. 5, 1921 - July 20, 2008 Suzanne Easton Steele Mueller died 
July 20, 2008. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Fred Edward Steele 
Jr.; her second husband, Kenneth Marshall Mueller; her son, Fred Edward Steele III, 
and his wife, Karlyn Thygessen Steele. She is mourned by her children, Paula Rustin 
Steele Levenson (Randal Levenson), Thomas Easton Steele, and Marcia Carol Steele 
(Lynn Haney); her grandchildren, Moss Easton Levenson (Rachel Webster), Cormac 
Ryder Levenson, and Geddes Steele Levenson, and her newly born great-
granddaughter, Hero Daniel Levenson. She is also survived by her stepsons, Marshall 
and Rand Mueller and their wives and children. She leaves behind many devoted 
nieces and nephews, descendents of her beloved late sisters, Margaret Easton Seney 
and Mary Easton Corbett. Suzanne was born in Toledo to James Robert Easton and 
Hulda Louise Nichols Easton in 1921. She was a graduate of Maumee Valley Country 
Day School and of Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts. After traveling the 
country with Fred, a Navy flier during World War II, they settled and raised their family 
in Toledo. Suzanne was an active volunteer in the community, serving with the Junior 
League and the Toledo Day Nursery. She received special pleasure from her work 
with the Toledo Museum of Art, volunteering for many years as a Docent. In 1982 she 
moved to New York City with her second husband, Ken, returning to Toledo in 1986. 
During this time, with several friends from her class of 1943, she co-edited the 
cookbook To Serve with Class to raise funds for Wellesley College. Suzanne spent 86 
summers in Lakeside, Ohio where she was on the Board of Trustees for many years. 
She was a member of the First Congregational Church and the Toledo Club. Until this 
year she was active in two book groups, a bridge group that played together for over 
60 years, and at the Toledo Art Museum where she served as an aide. Suzanne's 
unfailing kindness and generosity as well as her sense of humor will remain an 
inspiration to her family and friends. A memorial service will be held at the First 
Congregational Church, 2315 Collingwood Blvd., Toledo, OH, at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, 
August 24, 2008. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations in her memory be 
made to the Toledo Symphony Orchestra or to the First Congregational Church to 
preserve the Tiffany windows. Arrangements have been handled by the Gerner-Wolf-
Walker Funeral Home & Crematory, Port Clinton, OH. Online condolences may be 
shared with the family at: www.walkerfuneralhomes.com
