Clarence Henry Ney
June 20, 1923 — August 9, 2021
Clarence H. Ney, age 98 of Green Bay, passed away on Monday, August 9, 2021 at Autumn’s Promise. He was born on June 20, 1923, in the Town of Herman to the late Emil and Walaska (Stecker) Ney. Clarence was united in marriage to Violet Henningsen on October 12, 1946 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Gibson, WI.
Clarence was very proud and successful in life even with only an 8th grade education. He started with working on area farms and then got a job at the young age of 14 in 1937 at Lakeside Canning. After several years, working at the canning factory he proudly served in the US Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1945 in Kearns, Utah as a plane mechanic. Clarence continued to work with his hands after service becoming a maintenance supervisor for 25 years at Pauly Cheese where he worked for a total of 42 years. Clarence took various courses at NWTC and became a master electrician.
His enjoyments included hunting, fishing, being a Packer season ticket holder since they played at East high School and above all spending time with his family and traveling. He was known for tinkering and working with his hands and would lend a hand to anyone that needed help. Clarence was a long time member at Our Savior Lutheran Church. During his time there he held many roles, which included, serving on the church counsel, as president for several years, trustee, usher and elder.
