Alice Ann Mueller, age 89 of Rhinelander, died Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016, at her home. She was born on Nov. 30, 1926, in Park Falls to Louis and Gertrude (Larsen) Daus.
Alice graduated from Rib Lake High School. She worked in Milwaukee for a short time before returning to Rib Lake where she married Richard Mueller on June 21, 1947.
