Dorothy “Dottie” Marty went home to Jesus on Friday September 25, 2026 at the age of 84. She was born to the late Leonard and Anna Mueller on February 20, 1942, in St. Louis. Dottie was a lifelong member of St. John Lutheran Church in Arnold, Missouri, where she was baptized, confirmed, married, taught Sunday School, served as Altar Guild chair, welcomed others as a greeter, and volunteered in many other ways. In 1961, she married her husband, Wayne, and they shared more than 65 happy years together. A member of Fox High School’s first graduating class in 1959, Dottie worked as an accountant for the Fox C-6 School District for 31 years, forming many lasting friendships. She and Wayne shared a love of antique cars, and she served as secretary of several car clubs while traveling with fellow members to many states. Throughout her life, Dottie held an unwavering faith in God and shared it with those around her. She joins her parents and her brother Donald (Susan) Mueller in Heaven. She is survived by her sister, Grace (Steve) Hughey; brothers David (Sue), Richard (Lorraine), and Paul Mueller; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Visitation will be on Thursday October 1st from 4-8PM at St. John Lutheran Church, 3517 Jeffco Blvd., Arnold, MO 63010. The funeral service will also be held at St. John Lutheran Church on Friday October 2nd with visitation from 10AM until service at 11AM. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to St. John Lutheran Church. Arrangements provided by Kutis South County Chapel.
There is a new angel in heaven today and all the others will certainly have to take notice because her Halo is far brighter her wings more beautiful and her spirit and the love that she brings with her is far greater than all the others combined.
She is at rest, she is fully restored and now made complete.
Those of you who knew her have just a small impression of what it was like to be her brother, to be blessed and enlightened by her loving ways and charm and empathy for all people.
I love you Dottie and respect and thank you for all of the wonderful examples and mentoring and guiding advice through the years and I cannot wait to walk with you again, to hear your voice, to see your smile and hold you close in a warm reuniting embrace.
Thank you and thank God for being my ‘Big’ sister.
My dear friend Dot, the Foxy Ladies are missing one now. Till we meet again.

Dottie Marty, a very sincere and graceful person. She easily demonstrated how to be a Lutheran Christian. Dottie’s recipe for Macaroni slaw was enjoyed by everyone during lots of September chicken dinners at St Johns Lutheran Church.
Dear Wayne and Family
So very sorry to hear of Dottie passing to be in a better place. She was such a great friend and mentor, the Angels will be there with open arms to welcome her.
Wayne, I am sure it is so difficult to lose the love of your life, best friend and life partner.
May God bless you and the extended family. Prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Candy Gruenewald
Dear Wayne and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Dottie was certainly a loving and genuine woman, who would do anything for anyone. My memories of her are nothing but positive. She’s rejoicing in heaven now. May the Lord give you comfort and peace during this difficult time until you meet again.
