Mundalea Worrell

Mundalea Worrell was a multi-talented woman! Whether she was painting, drawing, wood carving, quilting, knitting, clay sculpturing, making hand made paper, designing and building theatrical sets, doing freelance art, scenic designing or one of the many other interests she had, you can be sure she did it very well! Lee, as most of her friends called her was a 1961 graduate of Shaker Hts. High and she attended Governor's State University in Chicago where she received her BFA in Theatre. She also attended The Cleveland Institute of Art. And she taught children's art classes at the Cleveland Museum of Art. One of her greatest passions was the theatre which began while she was in high school thespians and continued with her becoming Technical Director of the Opera House at the Cleveland Institute of Music. For many years she was very involved with the Heights Youth Theatre where she designed, built and painted elaborate backdrops and sets, ran the lights and more... . The kids loved her and it made all her hard work worthwhile. Mundalea touched many people's lives as she was the Activities Director at Fairhill and Whitecliff Manor nursing homes. And she loved singing in the choir at Epworth Euclid Methodist Church where she was a member. Lee married Chuck Worrell in 1978. Chuck is a science teacher in the Maple Heights school district. She had two daughters from her previous marriage to Don Lindow. Chuck and Lee raised these, now grown up lovely women. Her daughter Erica Butler is married to Michael and they have three children; Maggie, Samantha and John. Her daughter Susan Witallis is married to Craig and they have two children; William and Rachel. To say Lee was proud of her daughters and grandchildren is an understatement. She beamed when she spoke of her grand kids and they brought her much joy! Family was so important to her. She will be deeply missed by her two sisters, Debbie L'Orange and Martha Mainelis. Anyone who knew Lee recognized her amazing talents and most of all her generous heart.
