Milvern Barz was born July 27, 1919, on a farm east of Klemme, the son of Albert and Esther (Hartbeck) Barz. He attended and graduated from Klemme High School with the class of 1936. Milvern was united in marriage to Mary Jane Holm on June 14, 1946, at Garner, Iowa. Their union was blessed with two children, David and LuAnn. Following their marriage, Milvern and Mary Jane farmed and raised their family on the homestead east of Klemme that Milvern had helped build with his father. Their farming operation had included raising crops and a wide array of livestock. Milvern loved life on the farm, caring for the animals and working the land, in return reaping the fruits of his labors grown from the soil. In addition to farming, Milvern was employed as a machinist at Winnebago Industries from 1970-1984. Milvern and his wife lived on the farm until moving into the town of Klemme four and one-half years ago to the community apartments. In September 2005, they moved to the Prairie View Retirement Community in Garner. Throughout his entire life, Milvern was a loving, devoted and caring person. He receiv-ed great satisfaction from times spent with his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. His warm and inviting personality and great sense of humor made it very easy for him to converse and share in conversation and friendship with those around him. His family will remember his unending patience, especially when it came to time spent with the grandchildren. Milvern cherished any opportunity to spend time with his family and he and Mary Jane were very dedicated grandparents diligently making many trips to South Dakota and Clear Lake to share in the lives of their grandchildren. Milvern's faith life was very important to him throughout his entire life's journey. Both he and Mary Jane were very active in their church. Milvern served numerous times on the Immanuel Reformed UCC Church Consistory, even as recently as his last term ending in January of this year. He had also fulfilled numerous other church roles including serving many years as Sunday school superintendent, a Sunday school teacher, and participating in the adult Bible study program at the church where he was a very knowledgeable and well-read participant. Milvern and his wife had been actively involved in the operation of the Slippery Elm Golf Course in Klemme for 18 years. While his wife managed the clubhouse, Milvern served as the club's treasurer. He also served on the Ell Township Board of Trustees for many years, including time spent in the role of treasurer. Milvern enjoyed the simple things of life. In earlier years, he had shared his singing talents along with his wife providing music in quartets at funeral services. He loved to dance and the couple would often go out on Saturday evening dancing excursions. They enjoyed playing cards, touring the country side, and dining out. Wherever one saw Milvern, undoubtedly his wife and life partner, Mary Jane, would be nearby if not at his side. Milvern enjoyed watching sports and was especially fond of the Hawkeyes, reveling in this fact with his son, David, an Iowa State graduate and avid Cyclone fan. Those who knew Milvern will remember his legacy as a gentleman who relished time spent with his family. He was very mild-mannered and even-tempered throughout his entire life. He was very strong in his patience, faith life, a caretaker of the land and his farm animals, and a friend to all. His grandchildren will fondly remember him as a loving grandpa who was their number one fan in life. Those who will miss his presence in their lives include his wife and companion of nearly 60 years, Mary Jane Barz of Garner; his son, David, and wife, Jane, of Tripp, S.D.; his daughter, LuAnn Verdoorn and husband, Mike, of Clear Lake; grandchildren, Bradford Barz and wife, Lisa, of Sauk Rapids, Minn., Rebecca Barz of Sioux Falls, S.D., Elizabeth Noonan and husband, Ryan, of Sioux Falls, S.D., Mary Barz and fiance, Matt Fosness, of Brookings, S.D., and William Rucker, Clear Lake. Milvern was anxiously awaiting the arrival of his first great-grandchild due any day now. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Esther; sister, Ethel Josten; and a brother, Edward Barz.
