Clarence A. Arndt, age 75, of Wisconsin Rapids, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026, at Sylvan Crossings in Stevens Point.
He was born on February 11, 1951, in Wisconsin Rapids, to the late Edwin and Erma (DeWitt) Arndt. On February 19, 1972, he was married to Linda Vogel at First English Lutheran Church in Wisconsin Rapids.
Clarence had worked at Preway, Inc. in Wisconsin Rapids until the plant closed. He went on to work at Smurfit Westrock in Adams, and later retired from Bruener Timber products in Port Edwards.
In his spare time, he enjoyed bowling, golf, feeding the birds, casino trips, and hunting - including trips out West for elk hunting. He especially enjoyed family events.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Linda Arndt of Wisconsin Rapids; son, Jeffrey (Melissa) Arndt of Menasha; daughter, Jean (Peter II) Jacoby of Stevens Point; grandchildren, Caden and Kyler Arndt, and Peter III and Amelia Jacoby; brothers, David (Leila) Arndt, and Jon (Audrey) Arndt both of Wisconsin Rapids; brother-in-law, Kenneth (Bette) Vogel of Stevens Point; and many nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents; step-mother, Frances Arndt; sister, Carol Allworden; step-brother, Arnold “Mick” Fredrickson; and in-laws, John and Lorraine (Marceau) Vogel.
The memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 30, 2026, at the Hansen-Schilling Funeral Home & Cremation Center (1010 E. Veterans Parkway, Marshfield, Wisconsin). The Rev. Jane Johnson will officiate the service.
