Clarence Alphons Pronschinske

Clarence Alphons Pronschinske, 98 ½, of Arcadia, passed away on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at
Marinuka Manor in Galesville under the care of Emplify Health Hospice.
Clarence was born on November 29, 1927, at home on the farm in rural Fountain City to
Alphons and Agnes Pronschinske. He was united in marriage to Rosemary Kujak on November
7, 1949, at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, and eventually resided in Arcadia. Together they
raised 14 children. Rosemary preceded Clarence in death on November 22, 2007. He was then
married to Beverly Reinhardt-Anderson in February of 2009. She preceded Clarence in death in
April of 2023. Clarence loved all of their many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-
great-grandchildren.
Clarence’s true calling and passion was farming. He was a farmer his entire life. Beyond his
career, he was a man known for his social skills and quick sense of humor. He enjoyed spending
his free time serving with the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, the Arcadia
School Board, and Holy Family Parish Council. In his younger years, Clarence played baseball
and softball, and bowled with Rosemary on a Ma & Pa League. He loved to play Euchre and
watch the Brewers and Packers play. Clarence taught his family the value of working hard
without complaint, and then forwarded his legacy on to his grandchildren.
Clarence is survived by 13 of his children: Jerry (Mamie), Wayne (Teresa), John (Joregette), Ron
(Mary), Randy (Anita), Susan (Mark), Christine (Mike), Joe (Laura), Neil (Sue), Laurie (Rob), Lisa
(Randy), Peter (Kay), and Mary (Gary); numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-
great-grandchildren; sisters: Antonia Smieja and Lois Klimek-Deeren; and sisters-in-law: Bernice
and Phyllis Pronschinske.
In addition to his wives, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Jean and her husband,
Albert; and siblings: Aaron, Dorothy, Vera, Mary Lou, Ermira, Quintin, Linus, Frances and Cletus.
