Clarence Oscar Arneson spent his entire 90 years of life on this earth in the Hysham, Montana area. He passed away peacefully on December 6, 2018 at Aspen Meadows in Billings, Montana, after spending the day surrounded by family and friends.
Clarence was born on October 6, 1928 to Clara Julia Hagen Arneson and Oscar Ingvald Arneson at the family farm in Pease Bottom (Myers), Montana. He grew up on the farm, along with his brother Kenneth and sister Mildred, and graduated from Hysham High School in 1947. He spent a few years as a bachelor, while he helped farm and ranch with his father and enjoyed telling stories of the fun he had going to country dances with his good friends during these years. Eventually, he met Constance Jean Foust, who had recently begun attending high school in Hysham. They were married on January 25, 1959 and settled into life on the family farm. They were married nearly 40 years until Connie's death in 1998. During their years together, Clarence and Connie enjoyed countless family picnics in the hill pastures with their children. Later in years, they bought a camper and loved traveling to a few bluegrass festivals every year. Clarence also found great pleasure in his cattle and horses, as well as a few dogs and cats. He passed this legacy of love and respect for all animals onto his four children, Laura Jean, Julia Diane, Leslie Clarence, and Brian Duane. Clarence was also a lover of people; and, no one was a stranger for long in his presence. He will always be remembered for his bright blue eyes and gentle smile; his well-timed, witty one- liners and appreciation of a good joke.
After Connie passed away in 1998, Clarence eventually met and married Alice Rae Halmans in 2003 and moved into Hysham. In their earlier years of marriage, Clarence and Alice enjoyed attending senior dances in Miles City, until arthritis got the best of his mobility. Clarence continued to be an active, faithful member of the Community Presbyterian Church in Hysham, serving as a deacon until shortly before his death.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Alice, of Hysham; brother Kenneth Arneson (Billings, MT); daughter Laura Arneson Willems (William) of Myers and children Amy Willems Kimberlain (Gary) and Shawn Willems of Hysham; Julia Arneson Tagney (Brian) of Kimball, MN and children Kirbee Tagney Nykamp (Nathan) of Sioux Center, IA, Burke Tagney of St. Cloud, MN and Michaela Tagney of Minneapolis, MN ; daughter-in-law Deitra Barrus Arneson and children Chase (Tori) and Chyenne; and Brian Arneson (Danette) and daughter Ashley of Billings, MT. He is also survived by Alice's children: Joanna Kotar, John Halmans, Jerome Halmans, Joe Halmans and Jeff Halmans and their families, as well as his beloved nieces and nephews. His great grandchildren include Ella, Oliver, Rosie Nykamp, Shawnna, Zander and Zamaya; Billy Jean Willems Clark (Kevin) and daughter Alayna, Serena, Lilly and Clara Lynn Kimberlain; Shawna, Zander and Zoe Willems; and Adryan and Sylvia Arneson.
Clarence was preceded in death by his parents, sister Mildred, wife Connie, son Leslie, grandson Bryce and great great grandchildren Mya and Ava Clarke and special sister-in-law Nona Arneson.
