In Loving Memory

Clarice Geraldine Townsend, age 95, of Edgerton/ Stoughton passed away peacefully on Friday, April 15, 2016 at Azura Memory Care in Stoughton, Wisconsin. She was born on August 8, 1920 in Stoughton, the daughter of Halvor and Deanta (Bjoin) Veium.

She is survived by her husband, Clifford W. Townsend, of Albion, WI; her 5 children: Dennis Veium, Betty Townsend of Edgerton, Barbara Townsend of Janesville, Steven Townsend of Albuquerque, NM, and Dale Townsend of Janesville; her 5 grandchildren: Dawn Veium-Crane of Union, MO, Zachary Townsend of Iowa City, IA, Alex Townsend of Albuquerque, NM, Rebecca Strandlie of LaCrosse, WI, and Debra Strandlie of Mankato, MN; and her 3 great-grandchildren: Miranda, Mitchell, and Merrick Crane of Missouri. She is also survived by many other cousins, nephews and nieces.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her 3 brothers; Halvor Jr., Lloyd and Harold, and her stillborn twin sons.

We would like to thank the staff of Azura Memory Care and Agrace HospiceCare for their wonderful and loving care of our mother.

Mom told us in her final days that she felt that she had a long and good life. She was very proud of the fact that at her age she could still hear and see and that her memory was intact. Her age and physical limitations didn't stop her from her daily taxi cab rides to her favorite restaurant, Sunrise Caf�. She had hoped to get there one more time, but it was not meant to be.

Hold your special memories of her dear to your heart and she will be with you forever. Know that she loved her children and grandchildren dearly. Rest in eternal peace, Mom / Grandma.

There will be no funeral services per our mother's request.
