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.
