Rollie attended school in Bridgeport, where he discovered his passion for football. He played with unwavering dedication on the Bridgeport High School football team, leaving an indelible mark on the sport in his community. His passion for football continued throughout his life, and he was a devoted fan of Nebraska Husker Football, never missing a game.

Rollie’s heart was at home in the outdoors, where he found solace and joy. He was an avid hunter, with a special fondness for deer hunting.Throughout his life, he roamed the wilderness, treasuring the beauty of nature and sharing those precious moments with friends and family. Beyond hunting, Rollie was also an accomplished gardener. His favorite pastime was tending to his garden, where he nurtured beautiful tomato plants and grew corn that would rival the best in the region. His green thumb and dedication yielded bountiful harvests, and he generously shared the fruits of his labor with those he loved.

In the early chapters of his life, Rollie was blessed with three wonderful children: with his first wife, he welcomed Angela O’Leary (Muhr) and Eric Muhr into the world; later in life, he found happiness again in the loving arms of Elsie Muhr (Stover), and together they were blessed with another child, Krisie Adams (Muhr).

Rollie Muhr was preceded in death by his beloved parents,Terry and Claire Muhr, whose values and principles he carried with him throughout his life.

He is survived by his loving wife Elsie Muhr, whose unwavering support and companionship brought joy to his later years; Rollie’s legacy lives on through his children Angie O’Leary, Eric Muhr, and Krisie Adams; he will forever be remembered in the hearts of his cherished grandchildren Destinee Kramer, Alannah and Landon O’Leary, and Braxton and Haleigh Adams; one great-grandchild Ronan Goodell; his brotherTim Muhr, as well as his sister Carlene Hansen (Muhr).

Rollie’s journey may have come to an end, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts and minds of those who were fortunate enough to know and love him. His love for family, his passion for the outdoors, and his talent for gardening will serve as an enduring inspiration to all who were touched by his life.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be in care of the family to be designated at a later time.

His life was marked by a love for sports, the great outdoors, his cherished family, and his devoted passion for his wife, Elsie Muhr. May he rest in peace, forever remembered, and deeply missed.
