Irmgard and Gunther Mueller’s Legacy Gift

The Sun City Vistoso Community Foundation (SCVCF) mission statement reads: “To enhance the quality of life of residents and the surrounding community through support for health, cultural, recreational, educational and charitable needs.” In keeping with that mission statement, the Foundation honors Irmgard and Gunther Mueller for their generous estate gift to the Foundation that supported funding for The Bistro Coffee & Wine Bar in the newly renovated Activity Center. This is to be a gathering place where kindness is sown and friendships bloom over a cup of coffee or glass of wine.

Cecilia Pfeiffer, their dear friend, offered this tribute: “Irmgard and Gunther came to America from Germany in the late fifties. After WWII, they both worked for Siemens in Germany. When they were sponsored to come to America, they secured jobs as engineers in the aerospace industry.

Their jobs took them to the eastern and southern shores of America, but their favorite was the west. They discovered Del Webb’s Sun City on a road trip, and it was love at first sight. The Mueller’s home on Copperstone Drive had windows facing the Santa Catalina Mountains with no houses to obstruct the sunsets. They would always say, “When the mountains turn pink, it’s time for a drink” when friends and neighbors stopped by to toast the mountains and beautiful sunsets. They passed away in nursing homes, first Gunther, then Irmgard. Since they never had children, Irmgard and Gunther thought of Sun City as ‘their local family’ and loved being here.” Gunther and Irmgard Mueller Planned gifts: If you are interested in discussing the possibility of making a planned gift to Sun City Vistoso Community Foundation, please contact Carol Johnson, SCVCF President 425-343-7138.
