Eugene Muschell

Eugene William Muschell, 91, of Bellaire, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Meadowbrook Medical Care Facility in Bellaire. He was born on July 26, 1934, in Cheboygan, MI, the son of Fred and Marie (Vincent) Muschell.

Shortly after graduating high school, Eugene enlisted in the United States Air Force, proudly serving his country for four years and earning the rank of A/1C. Upon his honorable discharge, he attended the University of Detroit where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Eugene worked for over 30 years at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio. He was an engineer in the Radar Development division of Mission Avionics. Several years into his career, he went back to college at the University of Dayton to earn his master’s degree. He retired in 1993 and he and his wife Annie followed their dream to move to Northern Michigan soon after.

Eugene was a lover of music, especially jazz, and enjoyed watching Broadway shows. He was also fond of hiking and photography. His caring spirit and dry sense of humor will be sorely missed.

Eugene is survived by five children, Danielle Muschell (Frank Jarvis) of Dayton, OH, Emily Alsip of Bellaire, Paul Muschell of Anderson, IN, Karen (Charles) Kruelle of Downingtown, PA and Patrick Muschell of Union, OH; twelve grandchildren; and two great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife of 51 years, Anna (Boell) Muschell; two brothers, Bud Muschell and Ed Muschell; and three sisters, Marie McCracken, June Diamond, and Carolyn Kipper.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 16, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a prayer service beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Bellaire Chapel of Mortensen Funeral Homes.
