Jennifer Ann Mueller, age 63, of Elgin, IL, passed away on November 27, 2025. She was born on June 26, 1962, at Wheelus Air Force Base in Tripoli, Libya (North Africa) to Airman First Class Paul E. Mueller, Sr. and Shirley A. (née Whiffen).

Jenny grew up in Chicago (Portage Park) and attended Our Lady of Victory grammar school and Resurrection High School, class of 1980. After school Jenny went to work as an Administrative Assistant, at the Sears corporate headquarters in the Sears Tower and then Hoffman Estates, until her retirement.

Jenny had a special love of birds and over the years kept several different varieties, including her latest, named Jasper, who now resides at a bird rescue, once again among his feathered friends. Her favorite was Tweety, the first bird who stole her heart.

Jenny leaves behind: her brothers, Paul and Jeff, her adored nieces and nephew Claire, Brendan and Elise, as well as her sister-in-law Michelle and Aunt Sandy. She enjoyed her time with close friends and cousins immensely.

A Celebration of Life is being planned for family and close friends in early 2026.
