A funeral service will be held at 10:30 AM, Friday, December 4, 2020 at Faith Mennonite Church in rural Iroquois, SD, with Craig Jantz and Phil Penner officiating. Visitation hours are 2:00-3:30 PM, Thursday at Osthus Funeral Home in De Smet, SD. Clarence Penner was born May 29, 1934 to Issac and Maria Ensz Penner near Inman, Kansas. Dad gave his heart to the Lord and was baptized into the church of God in Christ Mennonite on April 17, 1949. At age 14 he came to South Dakota to help his Uncle Dave Penner plant his first crop in South Dakota. He married Betty Toews on May 26, 1957 at Inman, KS. In 1985, they purchased a farm nine and one-half miles north of Iroquois, South Dakota. They were blessed with five sons. When the youngest son was 19, they learned he had cancer. Through his sickness and death in 2003 Dad learned a new level of trust, leaving us with many good examples. Dad prayed for us daily and often spoke of the need of a Savior. Throughout his life, he raised sheep, fed cattle, and farmed grain. Dad was keen on improving his farming methods and efficiency. He placed confidence in his boys from early on and let them make decisions especially while he helped with the beginning of the congregation’s parochial school. Dad enjoyed serving on the church building committee, and both Dad and Mom found pleasure in serving at the Rochester Mennonite Guest Home for ten months. From Dad, we caught a love for traveling and seeing new places. His children and grandchildren have really appreciated his acceptance of his recent life and the limitations it brought. We could tell it wasn’t easy, but by the grace of God he showed us a beautiful way. Those left to cherish fond memories are his wife, Betty; children: Lonnie and Carolee, Bruce and Quinda, all of De Smet, SD; Roger and Elsie, Bridgewater, ME; Duane and Brenda, Iroquois, SD; daughter-in-law, Sue and Les Reimer, Coon Valley, WI. One brother Abe and Clarabel, Iroquois, SD; two sisters-in-law: Pearl Ensz, Moundridge, KS and Clara Toews, Hillsboro, KS; twenty-three grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. Preceding him in death were one son, Verle, one sister, three brothers-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and one grandchild.
