Eveline Louise (Marquardt) Mueller was born July 22, 1917 to William & Mathilda (Jordan) Marquardt on the Marquardt farm near Echo, MN. She was baptized and confirmed in St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Vesta, MN. Eveline attended rural school District 79 near Lucan, MN.
Eveline was united in marriage to Henry W. Mueller on September 20, 1936 in St. John's Lutheran Church in Vesta, MN. After their marriage, they farmed near Walnut Grove, MN for 12 years. In 1949, they moved to Perham where they operated Henry's Perfect Beach Resort on Big Pine Lake for 15 years. In 1963, they moved to Molly Stark Lake near Battle Lake, MN. There they built their retirement home and three cottages, operating Juniper Beach Resort until 1992. Eveline moved to Good Samaritan Senior Apartments in 2006 after Henry's death.

She also loved fishing off the dock with her many grandchildren and frying up the mounds of sunfish they caught; topped off by her famous apple pie. When her children and grandchildren were small she would teach them to sing "Jesus Loves Me".
