Maybelle Mueller ‘Mazi’ Roehm
Absent from the body, present with the Lord, Saturday, May 14, 2022. Born to parents John J. and Ophelia Mueller on July 17, 1927. Devoted wife of the late Alfred Roehm. Loving mother of James and the late John Roehm. Preceded in death by her brothers, Malvern (Adele) and Maurice Mueller (Edna) and brothers-in-law Ernest, John (Isabelle) and Frederick Roehm (Shirley). Survived by sister-in-law Mildred Roehm. Surviving nephew Jim Mueller (Barbara), and nieces Linda Mueller Hensley (Fred), Karla Roehm Buttorff (Bob), Janna Roehm Veith (Tony), Robyn Roehm Cannon (Don), Beth Roehm, and Anne Roehm (Terry) were loved and treasured immeasurably. along with their many children and grandchildren.
Mazi was confirmed at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Columbia, IL and married there in 1952. She graduated from Deaconess School of Nursing in 1948 serving proudly as an RN, first in bedside nursing and later as Director of Utilization Review at Deaconess Hospital.
The Newports, especially Mer, who graduated from Deaconess with Mazi, and the Koppens, were also family.
She built her life around Christian Faith, love of family and friends, and her professional career. Mazi was filled with kindness, compassion and love, bringing goodness to all she did and everyone she touched.
Trust in the lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. Psalm 16:6
Services: Private services and interment were held on May 21.
Mazi supported numerous charitable organizations including the Salvation Army, Missouri Botanical Garden and Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church. She would be honored by anyone choosing to support these organizations, or a charity of their choice, in her memory.

May 23, 2022 at 2:04 pmI worked closely with Mazi at Deaconess Hospital for many years until I moved to another hospital. I oversaw the Utilization Review Dept. however, Mazi and I were more friends and colleagues than any other relationship. I respected her immensely as a dedicated and ethical professional in every respect. After she retired from the hospital and I had moved on, we would occasionally meet for lunch w a mutual friend. I am so sorry to learn she has passed but she obviously lived a long and honorable life. I know she was devoted to her husband and family. She supported the Deaconess Sisters in so many ways and was a fierce advocate for their welfare, especially after their administrative influence at the hospital waned. She would tolerate no diminishing of their care and respect. I am sorry I could not attend a personal paying of my respects but if any family member would like to hear stories of hers and my experiences, I could be reached at stcuneo@swbell.net. I do hope her last years were not difficult.
