Tori Mueller was a beloved daughter, sister and friend to all. She was a shooting star that burst through our lives. She was loved by all; she never met a stranger and her gleaming smile was as brilliant as the rising sun. Those of us that were lucky enough to know her, knew she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She was one of those rare beautiful people that had no idea she was beautiful, which made her even more gorgeous. She loved the beach, she loved shopping, music, and most recently she loved painting. If you had the opportunity to be touched by Tori, you forever hoped you would be near enough to her to feel her magic. Tori started working at the age of 4 when she landed her first modeling job with Mattel, her Barbie game promotion launched at Christmas of 2000. In 2002 she appeared in Carpet One commercials worldwide, she appeared with the Disney dog spilling water on the kitchen floor over and over and over again, take after take, laughing as she went. Air China, Macy's, GAP, and an appearance on Dr. Phil led to her speaking role on Daddy Day Care, she was the smart math girl in 2003. She had her own trailer with her name on the door, attended movie studio school and loved every minute of it. In 2003 she obtained her Screen Actors Guild card. 2004 saw Tori in an episode of ER. Tori was a pageant girl from the time she could walk, won everything on the West Coast then headed to Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Tennessee to walk away with titles, crowns and cash. At the age of 18 months she won her first pageant as International Hollywood Babe, she reigned as Gingerbread Supreme, Fabulous Faces Beauty Supreme and thousands of other titles. Tori was also an accomplished equestrian, 2005 she was class champion in Hurricane, Idaho. In 2007 Tori was Grand Champion in Scottsdale, Arizona. 2008 she won Grand Champion at the Del Mar National Quarter Horse show and the Silver Dollar Circuit in Las Vegas, Nevada. 2009 Tori won Grand Champion in Medford, Oregon and again she continued her winning streak at the Scottsdale Nationals. Tori was brilliant, in high school she was National Society of High School Scholars, high school Varsity Cheer Squad, and tutored other high school students through out her high school years. Tori graduated from El Diamante High School and attended California State University Long Beach and graduated in May of 2020 with a degree in Biology. While at CSULB she was on the President's Honor List all four years. She was a past member of Alpha Phi sorority and always continued to give back to her community through volunteer work. She won the National US Attorney scholarship in 2015. Her dream was to be a doctor of medicine, last week she applied to 8 Colleges of Pharmacy and was already set up for 6 interviews. She had been working as a Pharmacy Technician trainee and had just received her license to become a Pharmacy Technician. On Sunday we received a call from one of her 8 colleges to offer their condolences, we were told she was a "slam dunk" and their number one candidate for their college of pharmacy. Tori was a not just a shooting star but a huge fiery comet! Everyone would stop, point and gasp, Oh look at her, then woosh she was gone...and we will never see anything like her ever again...and we won't be able to forget her...ever! Celebration Of Life services will be held 10:00 AM Sunday, November 22nd, 2020 at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel, 127 E. Caldwell Ave., Visalia.
