Everett Muterspaugh

Everett Muterspaugh, 83, of Pendleton, passed away on November 5, 2022, after a long illness surrounded by his family. He was born on March 8, 1939, in Middletown, to Ruth (Gibbons) and Thomas Muterspaugh. Everett graduated from Anderson High School in 1957. He attended Ball State University before deciding to join the workforce full-time. Everett was the epitome of a good man. He was devoted to his family, work, and principles of doing what was honest and right every minute of his life. He spent his entire work life at Pay Less Super Markets while it was still privately owned by the Contos family. Bud Contos hired him at the age of 14 to sell Christmas trees in the parking lot. Bud quickly learned Everett was no ordinary employee. He brought him inside the store and Everett quickly moved up the ranks holding many positions throughout the years. He was the very first male cashier and was a store manager by the age of 24. He loved the grocery business and his Pay Less family. He retired from Pay Less in 2000 as Vice-President of Operations and Merchandising after 47 years of service. He met the love of his life, Linda, in 1960, at a Pay Less Christmas party. They were married later that next year and have spent the last 62 years building a wonderful life and family together. They spent time in Anderson and Lafayette but settled in Pendleton in 1970. They spent 52 years in their dream home. They enjoyed gardening, fishing in their pond, and hosting family and friends often. Everett is survived by his wife and soul mate, Linda. He is also survived by three children; Kim (Kevin) Lawson, Lisa (Rick) Holsinger, and Paul (Beverly) Muterspaugh. He is also survived by nine grandchildren; Lindsay (Ryan) Roundtree, Jami (Evan) Morrison, Jenny (Chris) Roundtree, Jordan (Marianne) Holsinger, Jason (Lindsay) Holsinger, Kyle Holsinger, Taylor (Zach) Brandon, Nathan Muterspaugh, and Evan Muterspaugh; and 12 great-grandchildren; Jarod, Emma, Josie, Kellen, Jaxson, Taylor, Miley, Axel, Campbell, Annie, Avery, and Zoey; brother, Earl Muterspaugh; brothers-in-law John Gibson and Elvis Sullivan; and sisters-in-law Linda Gibson, Betty Gibson, and Florence Gibson. He has several wonderful nieces and nephews as well. He spent his retirement years loving every minute of going to support his grandchildren in any extracurricular event they participated in. He loved each one dearly. Everett was preceded in death by his parents, Ruth and Thomas Muterspaugh; and siblings Mary Rector, Emerson Muterspaugh, Grace Fridley, twin sister Evelyn Muterspaugh, and JoAnne Sullivan. The family would like to thank Harbour Manor for their care and support with a special thank you to staff member, Patrick, who treated Dad with love and compassion during his final days.
