She was also a member of the Germania Auxiliary, the Legal Auxiliary of Wisconsin, and past president of the Legal Auxiliary of Winnebago County. Her hobbies consisted of golf, needlework, and cards.

Cookie is survived by her son Jim (Tinh) Mueller, Oshkosh; two grandsons Herb (Jen) Mueller, Verona, and Dave (Jen) Mueller, Greenville; and great-grandchildren Ava, Alex, and Meagan.  Cookie is preceded in death by her husband Herbert ”Judge” Mueller, and son David “Scoop” Mueller.
