Richard Duwayne Sternweis was born on June 1, 1948, the son of Thomas and Ruby
(nee Nelson) Sternweis. He was born and raised in Marshfield and attended
Columbus High School. He married Sandra Kay and they divorced. On June 11, 1976,
Richard was united in marriage to Nancy K. Kraimer in Marshfield. He farmed his
whole life, from working on his parents’ farm to running his own. After selling
his farm he worked for McMillan Farms and was in his glory smoking his engine as
he drove all that big equipment. He so enjoyed Larry and all his co-workers. He
loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was always joking
and teasing with a smile. He loved watching his westerns and Brewers and Packers
and passed away peacefully in his recliner watching westerns.
Richard is survived by his wife, Nancy; his children: Michael (Heidi) Deedon,
David Deedon, Jonathon (Autumn) Deedon, Jason (Rebecca) Sternweis, Erin Jane
(Joshua) Labhart, Anne Marie (Todd) Gunderson and Jayme Lynn (Mathew) Sifler;
his siblings: Diana (Michael) McMeekan, Gordon Sternweis, Paul (Bonnie)
Sternweis, Sharon (Randy) Follen, Dennis Heckel and Karen (Rick) Rhodes; 18
grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas; his mother, Ruby; his
stepfather, Alvin Heckel; and his son, Richard Jr.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Richard’s name to MAPS (Marshfield
Area Pet Shelter).
Richard’s arrangements are under the care of Life Tributes Funeral Home,
Spencer.
