Craig Moller, 89, of Ashland, NE, died Sunday, August 23, 2015, at the Ashland Care Center. Craig was born on August 17, 1926 to Edward and Lavonna (Elwood) Moller in Grant, NE. He was raised and received his education in Grant; later graduating from Grant High School. Following high school Craig enlisted in the United States Navy on August 15, 1944 and was honorably discharged on June 14, 1946. Following his military service, he worked for the Burlington Railroad and later spent over 25 years as a woodshop foreman at Offutt Air Force Base. He was united in marriage to Wanda Lucille Nunn on March 16, 1945.
Craig was a member of American Lutheran Church and belonged to the American Legion Post #129 in Ashland. Craig was an avid Nebraska Cornhusker sports fan, particularly football. He spent most of his life woodworking, later contributing much of his work to help construct and shape the Legion Club. Above all Craig cherished the time he spent gathered with his family and legion family.
He was survived by his son, Reggie and Roberta Moller, of Lincoln, NE; daughter-in-law, Mary Moller, Arlington, NE; grandchildren, Chad and Sherry Moller, of Columbia, MO; Megan and Russell Fuchs of Arlington; Kendra and Dean Converse of Omaha, NE, and Brandon and Molly Moller of Lincoln, NE; great grandchildren, Madison, Allison, Lawson, Cameron, Grayson, Collin, and Landon; and extended family, Rich and Teri Miller.
He was preceded in death by his wife; son, Randy; and grandson, Blaine.
We will always remember spending time with Craig. He was the first to welcome us back to Ashland. We will miss his stories about growing up on the farm.
Craig and Wanda were a very dear couple. They knew how to have fun. Now Craig is at peace and united with his family. He will be missed.
