Stanford Clausen, 91, of Redfield, SD, died Wednesday, March 11, 2015 at his daughter’s home in Redfield. Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Redfield. Father Christopher Hughes will celebrate the mass. William Stanford Clausen was born April 15, 1923 on the family farm, near Ashton, to William and Anna (Bergendahl) Clausen. He grew up on the farm and graduated from Ashton High School in 1942. He worked on the farm before enlisting in the United States Army Air Force in 1945. He served in Greenland during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1946. Stan was a member of the American Legion for over 50 years. He loved his country and he loved working the land. Upon his return to Ashton, his head was turned by a vivacious blond named Geraldine Ronan. They were married in 1948 at All Saints Parish in Mellette. Stan and Jerry made their home in the Ashton/Northville area, farming with his parents. They both worked hard but also knew how to have fun with their friends and family at dances, card parties, reunions and parades. Stan drove red tractors and Ford trucks. They raised grain, pigs, sheep, chickens and milked cows. Stan liked all his vehicles to be in tip-top shape. He enjoyed restoring his Model A, taking it to shows and parades, or just taking friends and family on rides through the country. Stan and Jerry’s loving union was an example of everything a marriage should be and produced two daughters. Stan and Jerry moved into Ashton in 1994 and Stan continued to work on a neighboring farm for several years. Stan lost his beloved wife to cancer in 1999. Stan continued dancing even after the loss of his wife and was soon courting a cute, spunky, lady who brought sunshine back into his life. Velma Eining and Stan lived life to the fullest, traveling to attend dances throughout the area. They became well known for their dedication to outrageous costumes for the Halloween dances. Stan is survived by his two daughters: Cindy (Don) Siebrecht of Redfield; and Penny (Wayne) Dvorak of Ashton; grandchildren: Matt Siebrecht of Sioux Falls, Sabrina (Jeff) Meidinger of Aberdeen, Skye Siebrecht of Redfield; Bill Dvorak of Ashton and Katelyn Dvorak of Redfield; and great grandchildren: Miranda and Alex Meidinger. Uncle Sonny is also survived by and much loved by his five nieces: Sherry (Andy) Wurtz, Vickie (Dan) Appel, Jeanne (Louis) Schleisner, Midge (Jack) Marshall and Madge Clausen. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife of 51 years Jerry and his brother Chub.
