I grew up in Syracuse, NE.  My parents are Clifford Lavon and Verna Mae Lang.  I have two brothers, Bill and Keith, and one sister, Karen.  I attended Wayne State College in Wayne, NE and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Education in Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education in May of 1984.

    I moved to Exeter in August of 1984 to teach the SUCCESS II program which was located in Exeter at that time.  I was also the K-12 Special Education teacher and Title I teacher.  The following year I continued as the Special Education teacher and Title I teacher, but not the SUCCESS II program.  My current job is the Special Education  teacher working with 7th through 12th grade students who are identified as having learning problems and the Title I Coordinator.

    I married John Mueller of Exeter in 1995.  My husband is the Maintenance Supervisor for the Village of Exeter.  We have two children: Broc and Tara..
