Clydene M. Stedman-Rohloff, 93, of Waupaca, passed away on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.

She was born on May 27, 1929 in the Town of St. Lawrence to the late Raymond and Gladys (Hebbblewhite) Kealiher. Clydene married Gaylord V. Stedman on August 19, 1946. He preceded her in death on November 8, 1969. She later married Paul W. Rohloff on June 17, 1997.

She is survived by a Son: Robert (Laurel) Stedman, of Austin, Texas. Sister: Karen Moerke of Stevens Point and Sister-in-law: Darlene Kealiher of Suamico. Grandchildren: Brian (Heather) Stedman, Ronda (Cedric) Burns, Jimm G. Stedman, Christina (Lawrence) Jaworski. Great Grandchildren: Chantelle, Christian, Samantha, Derek, Jimm D, Jakob, Olivia, and Lilli. Great Great Grandchildren: Alycia, Everly and Mason. Also, one Grandson in-law: David, and five Great Grandchildren in-law, and three Great Great Grandchildren in-law. Also, numerous nieces and nephews.

Clydene was a caring and loving wife, mother and grandmother, who thought the world of her family. She enjoyed family gatherings whether in Texas or Wisconsin. She also had many occupations and interests: being a cook on a “chuck wagon” in Montana; volunteering at the Veterans Home at King; working many years in the Zwicker Knitting Mill and the Wisconsin Public Service; she volunteered her time and donated her sewing projects to the Waupaca Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. She took several memorable trips in the USA as well as in Europe. She enjoyed watching and feeding the birds and kept a close eye on the deer so they kept their distance from her flowers. During her lifetime she had a real passion for flowers. Her veggie garden and lawn were one by one made into flower beds. She would have a spring and fall sale of her flowers and plants. She tenderly attended to them all, and in her later years she was on hands and knees to get the weeds out, replant or add dirt to cover roots. She was well known for saying “if you want to give me flowers do it before I die so I can enjoy them.” She had a strong work ethic and a quick wit that was treasured by those she loved. She will be missed greatly but we know her faith was strong and she was looking forward to seeing Jesus and taking her first steps in Heaven.

Clydene was preceded in death by husbands: Gaylord V. Stedman and Paul W.Rohloff. Sons: Jimm & Dale Stedman, Brothers: Charles (Beulah) Kealiher, Stanley (Arlene) Kealiher, Donald (Elaine) Kealiher, Eugene Kealiher and Brother in law: Clarence Moerke.

A private Graveside Service will be held at the Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in King, at a later date.

Voie Funeral Home of Iola is assisting the family with arrangements.
