Beverly (Ann) Muhlenhaupt

Beautiful wife, mother, and grandmother Beverly Bieber Muhlenhaupt “Bev”, of Littleton, CO, passed away January 29, 2021 at Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, CO. She was 84.

Born on October 20, 1936 in Findlay, OH to John August and Melissa Geraldine Bieber. Growing up in Ohio, she often said she lived in seven different cities before sixth grade as her “Pop” made his way up the corporate ladder.  Settling in Upper Arlington, OH, she attended Upper Arlington High School.  She attended and graduated from the University of Miami, in Oxford, OH with a Bachelor of Science Degree.  She was active in her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, holding the position of Corresponding Secretary, was Treasurer for ComBus the Commercial-Business Women’s honors club, and belonged to the Women’s Recreation Association.

Upon graduation in 1958, she announced that she wanted to work in New York City, Colorado, and California.  She never made it to California.  She landed a job at NBC in New York City where she enjoyed Broadway shows, seeing over 100.  After a year in NYC, she moved to Boulder, CO, where she worked for the Dean of Admissions at the University of Colorado, and met her husband, Dick, on a tennis court on campus.  They married a year later, in 1961.

Bev worked at the University of Colorado until raising kids, Kristin Lee, born in 1966, and Michael John, born in 1967.

An avid dog lover, Bev and Dick raised Shetland Sheepdogs and Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Bev was very active in her dog clubs, including the Flatirons Kennel Club, the American Shetland Sheepdog Association, the Centennial Shetland Sheepdog Club, and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America.  Bev enjoyed showing her shelties and cardigans around the country and meeting all the wonderful “dog people” in the hobby.

Bev was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Richard C Muhlenhaupt (Dick), and is survived by her brother, John F Bieber and his wife Susan Bieber of Cincinnati, OH, brother James C Bieber, OD, of Upper Arlington, OH, daughter Kristin Arnold and her husband Bryan Arnold, of Littleton, CO; son Michael Muhlenhaupt and his wife Chrissy Muhlenhaupt, of Castle Rock, CO; four grandchildren, Eliane Jenkins and her husband Beau Jenkins, and Emily, Jack, and Joe Muhlenhaupt, and one very soon to be great grandson.

A private memorial service will be held at 11:15 am on February 10, 2021 at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd., Denver, CO 80236.  She will be interred with her husband, Dick.

Donations can be made to the American Kennel Club Canine Legislation Support Fund and PAC or a charity of your choice.

Bev will be sorely missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
