Henrietta Von Moy went from ranch woman to countess

Henrietta von Moy lived a life of extreme adaptability. In her lifetime, she lived on a ranch in Wyoming and a castle in Europe. She went from the halls of Vassar College to teaching in a three-room schoolhouse. She worked at a ski resort, ran a travel agency, married a German count and became a countess.

"It was quite a gamut," said her son, David Mueller, of Denver.

She died at her home in Denver on May 3 at age 90.

"She was just as at home in a log cabin or a castle," said her daughter Margie Mueller McKittrick of New York City.

Countess von Moy - called "Retty" by her friends - was born in Hartford, Conn., and traveled to Europe a great deal as a child, so she always felt at home in a variety of places, her daughter said. She went to Munich during her junior year at Vassar and while there met Willi Mueller, of Vienna, Austria. They were married in 1938, the year she graduated from Vassar with a degree in German.

Mueller longed for mountains and adventure, so the young couple headed west. "They bought a place outside Jackson, Wyo., and started a guest ranch from scratch," said her daughter Christi McRoy, of Montrose.

There she climbed the Grand Tetons and ran the ranch. After her husband's service with the U.S. Merchant Marines during World War II, the couple moved to Tabernash and bought Sky Valley Ranch. It was while living in Tabernash that the countess began teaching school.

"She was famous up in Tabernash," said her longtime friend Reggie Black, of Denver. "There weren't too many with her education available up there."

She and her husband also worked at the Winter Park ski area during those years. In 1951, the family moved to Denver and she began teaching at Graland Country Day School. She also later taught at Kent School for Girls.

After her husband's death in 1960, she took over his University Park Travel Center. For the next 10 years, she traveled the world for business and pleasure.

In 1970, she met widower Wilhelm Count von Moy in Munich, and "it was love at first sight," said McKittrick. They were married within a month.

For the next seven years, until his death in 1977, they split their time between Denver and his home in Oberhausen, Germany. "I wouldn't call it a castle," said McKittrick. "It was more of a manor house, really. But it did have a moat."

Countess von Moy was active in the Colorado Vassar Club; the Denver Fortnightly Club, a literary society; and the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, which is dedicated to historic preservation and patriotic service.

In addition to her three children, she is survived by three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Contributions in her honor may be made to the Teacher's Fund for Excellence at Graland Country Day School and Hotel de Paris Museum, Georgetown.
