August 29, 1960 – September 24, 2026

Susan Anderson (née Mueller), 66, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away on September 24, 2026.

Cynthia was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, to Raymond and Catherine Mueller. She was a beautiful soul with a personality you didn’t easily forget. She was funny, loving, strong-willed, stubborn, feisty—a combination that made her unmistakably Cynthia.

Cynthia found happiness in the simple things in life. She loved taking trips to the lake, cooking, fishing, laughing, and listening to country and rock ’n’ roll music. But Cynthia’s life was not without its challenges. Her story was one of many chapters— some difficult, some beautiful, and many filled with growth, healing, faith, and a deeper appreciation for the relationships that mattered most to her. 

In the later years of her life, Cynthia became a source of love and connection for her children and family. She treasured the time she was able to spend with them and took great joy simply being together—cooking, laughing, and making memories.

Cynthia was the mother of Chris Haller, Kelly Haller-Varney and her husband, Caleb Varney, and Dustin Anderson. 

One of the greatest joys of Cynthia’s life was being a grandmother to her only grandchild, Matthew Benecke. Matthew held a very special place in her heart. Watching him graduate this year was an especially meaningful moment for her and she was endlessly proud of him. Being his grandma was a role she treasured deeply.

Cynthia is also survived by her life partner, John Guzy; her siblings, Raymond Mueller and his wife, Joyce; David Mueller and his wife, Cathi; Ronald Mueller and his wife, Pam; Cathy Donovan; Bill Mueller and his wife, Diane; Sandy Wolf and her husband, Sonny; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Catherine Mueller; her sister, Barbara Claspill; her brother, Dennis Mueller; and her brother-in-law, Matthew Donovan. 

Although saying goodbye is incredibly difficult, Cynthia’s family finds comfort in knowing how deeply she loved the Lord and in believing that she is now at peace in His presence.

The love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the memories she created will remain with those who loved her for the rest of their lives. 

She will be deeply missed, endlessly loved, and forever remembered.

Until we meet again, Mom. We love you.
