Robert Charles Cohrs, 91, died on April 8, 2026, at Rose Vista Care Center. He was born July 26, 1934, to Herman and Hilda (Ehert) Cohrs at his family’s farm near Magnolia. He attended country school and graduated from Woodbine High School in 1952. He met the love of his life, Judith Niles at a dance at the Magnolia Park and they were married on Sept. 19, 1959. To this union, they had three sons, Danny, Todd, and Scott.
Bob proudly served his country in the Army Reserves Medical unit for eight years, Specialist 3rd Class. Afterwards, he returned to the farm, working with his dad and later starting a Holstien dairy herd, which was 100 strong at its peak. Later, Bob worked for Schemmer Rock Quarry in Logan and the Harrison County Road Department.
Bob was a devoted member of the Zion Lutheran Church and later the Immanuel Lutheran Church. He enjoyed square dancing, card club, and riding horses as he was a founding member of the Pisgah Saddle Club. But his greatest joy was his wife and family. He loved going to any sporting event or music concert at school. His life changed dramatically when he lost Judy in 2014 after being married for 54 years. They were seldom not together.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Judy; brother-in-law; Larry Manes; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Max and Phyllis Kucks; and nephew, Chuck Manes. He is survived by his three boys, Danny (Chris) Cohrs, Todd (Lori) Cohrs and Scott Cohrs all of Logan; six grandchildren; six+ great-grandchildren; sister, Doris Manes of El Cajon, Calif.; and many cousins, nephews and friends.
A funeral service was held on Friday, April 17, 2026, at Immanuel Lutheran Church with Rev. Daniel Steeb and Rev. Dennis Maaske presiding over the service. The organist was Dona Emswiler, and the congregational hymns were “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art”. “Thank You” was sung by Rick Powell. The pallbearers were Chelsey Seymour, Andrew Seymour, Hillary Cohrs, Macy Baker, Dustin Baker, Alex Cohrs, Drake Cohrs, Morgan Cohrs and Karsten Bruns.
