Wilma "Billie" Corwina Muller passed away on April 25, 2019, in Stewart, Florida, at the age of 83.

Billie was born to Corwin and Fern Truitt on October 1, 1935 in Sheridan, Wyoming. She was the third of five children. On November 1, 1954 she married the love of her life, Simon Charles Muller Jr. Together they raised their three children in Sheridan, Wyoming before moving their family to Riverside, California in 1969. They later moved to Anchorage, Alaska in 1976. Their final few years were spent near their daughter in Florida.

Billie is lovingly remembered as a colorful outgoing person who always had a pot of coffee on and was always ready for lively conversation with family, neighbors and friends. Billie enjoyed several jobs during their time in Alaska which included managing Bayshore Daycare Center, and later managing an Anita's dress shop in downtown Anchorage. She also enjoyed providing licensed daycare in their home for many years.

She and Simon shared a love of adventure and enjoyed many travels throughout their 63 years of marriage, which included flying in Simon's airplanes and traveling in their 5th wheel motor home. They visited many locations throughout the country and even made one trip to Germany. The two of them made quite a pair and even built two houses together.

She is survived by her sons, Bruce (Brenda) Muller of Wasilla, Alaska, and Mike (Patty) Muller of Nampa, Idaho; her daughter, Cindy (Jeff) Muller-McMurtry of Palm City, Fla.; sisters Eleanor, Marilyn "Skippy", and Colleen, brother William, grandchildren Simon (Kerry) Muller III, Jacob Muller, Chris (Shelby) Muller, Melissa (Rick) Bjorhus, Amanda (Ken) Houston, Clifford Price Jr. and 8 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Simon Charles Muller Jr, her parents and a grandson, Jeffrey Muller.

Interment will be held this summer at the family ranch, jointly with her husband (who passed away a few months previous to her). A gathering of family and friends will be held in memory of Simon and Billie at 6:00 pm on July 5th at the Elks Lodge in Sheridan, Wyoming where they were lifetime members.
