Edwin Harold Mohr
August 6, 1920 — October 25, 2012
TWIN FALLS • Edwin (Ed) Mohr, 92, of Twin Falls, passed away quietly in his sleep Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, at Oak Creek Rehabilitation Center in Kimberly.
Ed was born Aug. 6, 1920, in Wilcox, Neb., to Fred C. and Emma (Grote) Mohr. He had three sisters and one brother. As a young man, he moved to Idaho where he met and married the love of his life, Naomi Rose Carskadon. They lived in Hollister, where he worked for the canal company. During that time, their first daughter, Karen, was born. When he was called to enter the military, he moved his young family back to Nebraska to be near his parents during his absence. While serving his country in the Army during World War II, he was stationed in Germany and France. He was proud to say that he was one of Patton's men.
After his discharge, Ed returned home and his second daughter, Norma, was born in Nebraska. Several months later, the family moved back to Idaho where he farmed for about five years. He then went to work for Duffy Reed Construction, where he worked for the next 15 years, and he and his family lived in Oregon, Nevada, Montana and numerous places in Idaho. When the company closed, he went to work for Rocky Mountain Harvestore, where he worked for the next 25 years until his retirement. Ed loved to hunt and fish and play golf. He had a great sense of humor and liked to make his family laugh by saying and doing funny things.
Ed is survived by his two daughters, Karen Nedbalek and Norma (Ted) DeVoe; four grandchildren, Tracie Nedbalek Ricketts, Heather Willis, Jeff Glenn and Matt Nedbalek; seven great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 66 years, Naomi; his sisters, Leona Anderson, Ardis Ems and Lois Diehl; his brother, Gerald (Jerry) and their spouses; his son-in-law, Donald Nedbalek; and his great-grandson, Michael Nedbalek.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff at Oak Creek and Dr. Gies for the kind and loving care given to our beloved father.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, at White Mortuary "Chapel by the Park." Interment will follow at the Twin Falls Cemetery in Twin Falls.
