50th Anniversary: Muegge
Donald and Martha (Throener) Muegge celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on January 11, 2021.
They were united in marriage on January 11, 1971 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Plainview.
In November of 1977, they had their only daughter (who despite a wonderful upbringing, has lacked punctuality in celebrating her parents amazing milestone.)
Paula (Muegge) Folger and her family, Jason, Reed and Miles Folger, would appreciate any help honoring them with congratulations, and, if time, a card to celebrate 50 years. The family is all hopeful for a grander celebration when the current pandemic allows for gathering and travel.
If desired, please send cards/thoughts to: 52961 865 Rd, Plainview, NE 68769.
