Harriet Muller

On May 13, 2025, we said goodbye to Harriet Ruth Muller, a remarkable woman whose 97 years on this earth were filled with grace, laughter, and an unyielding zest for life. Born on August 5,1927, In the Bronx, New York, Harriet’s life was a tapestry of dreams realized, and a legacy left behind.

Harriet was a woman who lived her passions fully, whether it was her family, hard work, or her love for dance. She married her high school sweetheart, Henry Muller Sr., with whom she shared a beautiful life until his passing. Harriet achieved her childhood dream of becoming one of the famed New York Radio City Rockettes, a testament to her dedication and talent. Later in life, she transitioned her energy and entrepreneurial spirit into co-owning a McDonald’s where she touched the lives of many with her kindness and business acumen.

Known for her infectious positivity, Harriet was a cherished member of the Smithtown Hunt and Shakerag Hounds. Her spirit was so inspiring that an award was named in her honor: The Harriet Muller Positive Attitude Award. Her contributions to business were also recognized with the Atlanta Female Entrepreneur Award, a testament to her pioneering spirit and drive.

Family was at the heart of Harriet’s life. She is survived by her four children: Henry Muller (wife Sue), Karen, Wendy Powell (husband Dean), and Keith Muller (wife April). Her legacy continues through her 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, all of whom were the light of her life.

Harriet’s journey was deeply rooted in her Christian faith, which guided her through life’s challenges and triumphs. Her belief in finding a silver lining in every situation was a lesson she imparted to all who knew her. Those who have spent time with Harriet will undoubtedly carry forward her sayings and words of wisdom, ensuring her spirit lives on.

A celebration of Harriet’s life will be held at Free Chapel Church, Located at 3001 McEver Road, Gainesville, GA 30504 June 17th, 2025 @ 12:00pm. As we gather to honor Harriet, we remember her as a beacon of positivity and love, a woman whose legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those fortunate enough to have known her.

In remembering Harriet, we are reminded to embrace life with the same passion and joy she did, finding beauty in every day and love in every moment. She will deeply be missed, but her spirit will remain forever in our hearts.
