Obituary
Delmer A. Stene was born March 25, 1923 to parents Louis and Louise (Keiser) Stene on the family farm in Union County, South Dakota where he lived his entire life. He died March 10, 2010 at Morningside Care Center in Alcester, SD at the age of 86 years, 11 months and 16 days.
Delmer attended Prospect Hill rural school. He married Darlene Newberg on October 5, 1943. Delmer farmed his whole life. Farming wasnt just his occupation, it was an enjoyment and passion and in 2008 Delmer was recognized at the South Dakota State Fair for having a Century Farm. Darlene passed away in 2003 and Delmer continued to live on the farm until poor health forced him to move to the Morningside Care Center where he resided until his death.
Delmer was baptized and confirmed at Peace Lutheran Church and later became a member of Roseni Lutheran Church where he served on the church council. Among his hobbies and interests were tractor pulling, restoring tractors, dancing and spending time with his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, son Dallas, and brother DeLewis.
His survivors include three children, Dennis Stene and wife Glenda of Sioux Falls, DeLynn Stene and wife Colleen of Alcester and DeAnne Mulder and husband Larry of Mt. View, MO; 8 grandchildren, Amy Ireland and husband Scott, Angela Stene, Kimberly Stene, Julie Stene, Travis Stene and wife Natalie, Kyle Stene and wife Marcy, Jennifer Renegar and husband Earnie and Melanie Miller and husband Tim; 9 great grandchildren, William and Alex Ireland, Chantell Westberg, Amelia and Trevor Stene, Haleigh and Colton Stene, Jayson Petersen and Avery Miller; special friend Mildred Espeland, Sioux Falls; and many relatives and friends.
Memorials may be directed to Morningside Care Center, American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.
