Ronald Clark Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Spooner Funeral Home on Feb. 8, 2026.
Ronald Martin Clark, age 86, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at Waters Edge Care Center in Hayward, WI. He was born on September 29, 1939, in Superior, WI, the son of George and Margaret (Larson) Clark. He was united in marriage to Lois Ann Parzych on May 14, 1960, in Superior, WI.

Ron was a proud member of IBEW Local 131. He retired after a successful career with Superior Water, Light and Power in 1995, then moved to his home in Barnes on Sandbar Lake. Ron loved the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting. He loved spending time with family and friends. He especially loved taking rides on the pontoon boat.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Lois Ann Clark of Hayward; his daughter, Glenda (Rick) Mattila of Barnes; his grandchildren, Nicholas Mattila and Brook Sletten; his great-grandchildren, Logan and Caleb Sletten and Noah and Natalie Mattila; his brother, Ret. Lt. Colonel Lawrence (Marjorie) Clark of Austin, TX; and many dear friends.

In addition to his parents, Ron is preceded in death by his son, Ronald "Bucky" Clark.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Tamarack Health Hayward Medical Campus and Waters Edge Care Center for the wonderful care they gave Ron during this process.

I would like to send my condolences to Lois and Glenda. The last time I saw or was able to spend time with the Clark family was when Glenda, Bucky and I were teenagers. My family had cabins on the same lake as the Clark's. Ron and his wife Lois always showed me nothing but kindness whenever I was able to stop by and visit. Shortly after graduating high school I moved to Texas and lost touch with many folks from Barns. Memories of the times I spent with the Clark family will be remembered and cherished by me always.
