Muriel Fritz, nee Hollerbach, 96, of O'Fallon, Ill. born April 25, 1928, in Detroit, Mich. entered eternal rest on Monday, May 6, 2024, with her family by her side.

Muriel was a homemaker, and a member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church. She enjoyed baking, gardening, sewing and volunteering. But most of all, she enjoyed taking care of her family. Muriel was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, and aunt who loved spending time with her family. She loved to travel - especially to Alaska.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Fritz, whom she married on February 5, 1955, and their son, Richard Fritz.

Surviving are her five children, Thomas (Nicky) Fritz, of Xenia, Ohio; Donald (Robin) Fritz of Sterling, Alaska; Carol (David) Loyet of O'Fallon, Ill.; Jeanne (Glenn "Butch") Koeller, of St. Libory, Ill.; and Anne (Patrick) McDevitt, of Beavercreek, Ohio.  She is also survived by 13 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren (with another on the way!); and numerous nieces and nephews.
