Rod Siemers
Mason
City - Rod Siemers peacefully returned
to his heavenly Father Sunday, Aug. 19,
2012. He passed at home, surrounded by
his wife, daughters, sons-in law and
grandchildren.
Born on May 28, 1946, in Marshfield,
Wis., Rodney Lester Siemers was the son
of Lester and Ione (St. Louis) Siemers.
Rod attended school in Marshfield and
graduated from Marshfield Columbus High
School in 1965. He was employed by
Weyerhaeuser Company in Marshfield as a
printer until 1971, and was then
promoted to print shop supervisor until
1993. Rod was united in marriage to
Denise Radlinger on Aug. 31, 1968, at
Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in
Marshfield. To this union, three
beautiful daughters were born: Victoria,
Jennifer and Amy.
Rod continued his career at Heinzen
Printing before moving with Denise to
Monroe, Wis., in 1995, where he was
employed by New Life Press. In 2004, the
couple moved to Greeley, Colo., where
Rod was a quality control inspector of
medical x-ray film at Kodak in Windsor,
Colo.
Rod and Denise then moved to Mason City,
in 2006 to be closer to their children
and grandchildren. Rod enjoyed meeting
many new friends as an employee-shuttle
bus driver for Mercy Medical
Center-North Iowa in Mason City, and
later as a pharmacy technician at the
same hospital until his retirement in
October 2011.
Rod enjoyed life to the fullest. While
in Marshfield he spent many summer
evenings and weekends pitching softball
for his Weyerhaeuser team, with his
young and growing family cheering him on
from the stands. Rod was an avid
lifelong golfer who rarely missed the
annual golf outings in Northern
Wisconsin with his Marshfield buddies.
Rod relished the opportunity to teach
this sport to his eldest grandson, Isiah.
He was a devoted fan of the Milwaukee
Brewers, Wisconsin Badgers and the Green
Bay Packers.
All of Rod's interests included friends
and family, whether it was playing
cards, bowling, fishing, traveling,
dancing, or cookouts. Family was most
important to Rod, and his pride and
support for each of the grandchildren's
talents and interests led to many
cherished trips back home to Wisconsin
for visits with them.
He treasured spending time with his
daughters, their husbands, his
grandchildren and his dog, Curly, but
most importantly with Denise, his
beloved wife of 44 years. It was Rod's
heart's desire to be a grandfather, as
his had passed when he was very young.
His five granddaughters and three
grandsons bear witness to him being the
"best grandpa ever."
While living in Monroe and Mason City,
Rod and Denise were fortunate to own
homes which were located on parade
routes, providing special occasions to
play host to family and friends. The
Cheese Days parades in Monroe and the
Band Festival parades in Mason City
would spur Rod to spend hours decorating
the homes in theme appropriate attire
and with Denise, planning festive meals.
His love of the Christmas season was
expressed by the care he took in
lighting the landscape and homes'
exteriors, decking the halls with
collections of snowmen and Santas, and
finding the perfect Christmas gift for
each family member.
Rod was a gentleman and a gentle man. He
was known for his ready smile, kindness
and genuine interest in the well-being
of all he met. He lived his life focused
on the needs of others and was a
generous, giving man of his time,
talents and love.
Rod was a devout Catholic and a Third
Degree Knight with the Knights of
Columbus, a parishioner of St. Joseph
Catholic Church, and was a parishioner
of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
Marshfield, Wis., for most of his life.
Rod will be dearly missed by his wife
Denise; daughters, Victoria (John)
Schmitt, Lancaster, Wis., Jennifer
(Jerrod) Getter, Viroqua, Wis., and Amy
(Britt) Gempeler, Monroe, Wis.;
grandchildren, Margaret "Maggie"
Schmitt, Jenevieve Getter, Juliette
Getter, Jessie Getter, Jansen Getter,
Isiah Siemers, Jack Gempeler, and
Danielle Gempeler; brother Terrence
"Terry" (Colleen) Siemers, San Antonio,
Texas; nephews, Shawn (Paige) Siemers,
Katy, Texas and Ryan Siemers,
Alexandria, Va., and niece, Erin (Doug)
Brooks, Fairport, N.Y. Rod's Minnesota
cousins hold close in their hearts
relationships with Rod and Denise and
lifelong memories of time spent
together.
He was preceded in death by his parents,
grandparents and parents-in-law.
