DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Frances M. Klaren, 91, of Dyersville, Iowa, passed away Wednesday, January 30, 2019, at MercyOne-Dyersville Medical Center.
Visitation will be held from 2 until 8 p.m. on Monday, February 4, 2019, at Kramer Funeral Home, 750 12th Avenue SW in Dyersville. Visitation will continue at the funeral home from 9 until 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5, 2019, prior to funeral services.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday at St. Francis Xavier Basilica in Dyersville, with burial in St. Paul Cemetery in Worthington. Rev. Dennis Quint will officiate.
Frances was born March 11, 1927, in Farley, Iowa, the daughter of William and Mary (Drees) Stelken. Frances attended St. Joseph School in Farley, graduating in 1944. She continued her education, obtaining her teaching certificate from the University of Dubuque. Frances taught in a one-room schoolhouse. She married Urban J. Klaren on June 7, 1951, in Farley.
Frances was a farm wife for many years and worked side-by-side with her husband. She was a CNA at Shady Rest until her retirement. Frances was an excellent baker. Her rhubarb pie was unmatched. Her pride and joy were her four grandchildren, and she spoiled them with all her love, affection and homemade goodies. She was a proud grandmother, she enjoyed watching them excel in their academic endeavors as well as athletics and band. Her love for teaching never waned as she volunteered as a teacher's helper in her daughter-in-law's classroom. Her faith was very strong and meant a lot to her, supporting her parish was a priority. Her grandmotherly touch was felt throughout her community, as she profoundly affected the lives of many people.
Frances is survived by her son, Tom (Kay) Klaren, of Dyersville; daughter-in-law, Joan Klaren, of Dyersville; grandchildren, Nicholas Klaren, of Cedar Rapids, Dr. William Klaren, of Racine, Wis., Brian (Samantha) Klaren, of North Liberty, Dr. Rachel (Brandon) Bollaert, of Milwaukee, Wis.; great-grandson Jackson Thomas Klaren; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Urban, in 1972; one son, Daniel Klaren, in 2011; siblings, Lucille (Ambrose) Arnold, Anita Stelken, in infancy; and in-laws, Nick (Armella) Klaren, Les (Delores) Klaren, Veronica (Earl) Cole, Lucille (Donald) Cole, and Dorothy (Ben) Dueschner.
The Klaren family would like to thank the nursing staff at Mercy Dyersville and Dubuque for their excellent care and compassion. A special thanks to Edna Scherbring with Hospice of Dubuque.
Memorials may be directed to St. Francis Xavier School and Beckman Catholic High School.
