Ron Lensing Obituary

Ronald "Ron" R. Lensing, 74, of Stanford, Montana passed away Monday, November 3, 2025. Ron was born in Lemmon, South Dakota on December 30, 1950 to Leon and Bertha A. (Lenerville) Lensing.

Ron graduated from Choteau High School and continued his education at Western Montana College earning a B.S. Degree in Secondary Education: Social Sciences, Physical Ed, and Drivers Ed.

On September 15, 1973 Ron was united in marriage to Charlene Jelinek in Denton, Montana. Together they raised three children: Thad, Josh, and Beau. Ron taught and coached in Saco, MT, Harlowton, MT, Power, MT, Deer Lodge, MT and Stanford, MT; a 39 year career.

Ron loved hunting, long range shooting and reloading. He always enjoyed going to hunting camp every year and hunting with his sons, grandchildren and friends. He was a member of the Judith Basin Archery Club. Ron also had many fond memories from coaching football and track.

"Mr. Lensing was an unbelievable man, touched thousands of kids through his years as a teacher, coach and mentor. It is certainly an honor to be a pallbearer for Coach." Bill Vejtasa

Ron is survived by his wife, Char; children, Thad (Katie) Lensing, Josh (Lynn) Lensing, Beau (Chris) Lensing; grandchildren, Blake, Emma, Tate, Easton, Ade, Kolt, Myer, Kambree, CJ, and Kaycee; and sister, Pam (Eldon) Church. He is preceded in death by his parents, Leon and Bertha; brother, Lowell; and infant brother, Lonnie.

A Memorial Service will be held at Calvary Community Church in Stanford on Saturday, November 8th, 2:00 p.m. A private burial will take place at the Stanford Cemetery. Memorial contributions are requested to Tough Enough to Wear Pink - Central Montana, PO Box 488, Lewistown, MT 59457.
