Mohr, Marvin Edgar (30 January 1948 – 7 March 2017) With Flag

Marvin Mohr, age 69, of Neillsville, Wi died Tuesday, March 7, 2017, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.

Marvin Edgar Mohr was born on January 30, 1948, in Neillsville, the son of Albert H. and Luella M. (Kopp) Mohr. He attended Silver Crest grade school and graduated from Neillsville High School in 1967 and then went to work at the Kurt Marg rendering farm. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1968 and spent 11 months in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. His active duty ended in 1970. He then served in the Army Reserve until 1974, when he was honorably discharged. When he returned home from serving his country he again went to work at Kurt Marg’s. Later that year he was united in marriage to Patricia A. Perrine on September 19, 1970, in Neillsville. After leaving Kurt Marg’s he went to work at the Neillsville Foundry before beginning his career at Nelson Muffler. He spent 38 years at the muffler factory, most of which was spent in the tube bending department, before retiring in 2010. In retirement, Marv, didn’t sit still long. He went to work at the Sam Mathis farm.

Marvin was a member of the Haugen-Richmond American Legion Post #73 and the Wilson-Heintz VFW Post #2241 in Neillsville. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed being outside, bow-hunting, making wood and having nearly daily campfires in his backyard. His greatest joy, however, was spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his two children Tracey (Albert) Havlik and their children Cody and Dylan, of Granton, and Scott (Nicole) Mohr and their children Ashton and Amanda, of Edgar. He is also survived by eight siblings, Dolores Kenyon of Black River Falls, Harvey (Susanne) Mohr of Elkhart Lake, Kenneth (Karen) Mohr of Neillsville, Edna (Bruce) Klatt of Alma Center, Allen (Debra) Mohr of Neillsville, David (Sharon) Mohr of Neillsville, Paul (Nancy) Mohr of Neillsville, and Ruth (Robert) Schmidt of Neillsville, a brother-in-law Lawrence Artac of Greenwood, brother-in-law and sister-in-law John and Jayne Perrine of Neillsville, sister-in-law, Caroline Perrine of Sun Prairie, and a brother-in-law Jimmy Perrine of St. Louis, MO, and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia (2007), his father, Albert (2000), his mother Luella (2011), two sisters, Lois Mendenhall (2005) and Eunice Artac (1987) and three brothers-in-law, Rudolph Novak, Elliott Kenyon, and Donald Mendenhall.
