Gene A. "Geno" Schoenherr, 75, Marshfield, passed away surrounded by his family on Sunday, November 21, 2021, at Clark County Rehabilitation and Living Center in Owen.

Gene was born on January 8, 1946, in Neillsville to Ruth Schoenherr. He received his education in the Globe, Neillsville and Granton Schools.

After his honorable discharge he became a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans.

Gene worked for various trucking companies as a semi driver until he found his home with DeBoer Trucking, Inc. where he worked for 13 years until health problems forced him to retire. He had a love for Harley's. Over the years he had three motorcycles and when it came to riding, he never let his health interfere.

In 1977 he married Christine Balicki who survives him along with a son, Mark (Teresa) Balicki, Iron Mountain, MI, a daughter, Lisa Sterbuck of Heartland, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Gene was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He will be sadly missed.

The family would like to thank Clark County Living Center staff and the hospice staff for their excellent care.
