Obituary for Randina S. Clements

Randina was born February 7th, 1960, to Ronald E. and Susan R. Bockenhauer (McClintock) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She attended school at West Salem and graduated in 1978. After high school, Randina worked as a laborer on the Burlington Northern Railroad for 10 seasons. In spring 1990, she became a proud member of the Laborers Local 140 of La Crosse, Wisconsin. She was employed by multiple companies until her retirement and remained a lifelong member of the union.

After retirement, Randina spent her time at her Fisher Hill Farm near Burr Oak. She kept herself busy caring for her critters, and she could often be found forest bathing in the woods and mushroom hunting. She spent her last days tending to her animals and planting the most impressive garden of her life that she was very proud of.

Randina is survived by her children, William H. and Andrea L. Bockenhauer, Ronni L. Clements and Tyler J. Schuler, and Frederick J. Clements; grandchild, Chase D. Clements; brother, R. Scott and Shari Bockenhauer; nephew, Dakota and Gretchen Bockenhauer; niece, Kally S. and Kegan Koch; aunt, Loretta Fritsch (McClintock); father-in-law, Roger Heineck; and her close friend and chosen daughter, Sierra L. and Josh Stumlin.

She was preceded in death by her parents; the love of her life, John A. Heineck; and her godson, Tommy Hauser.

Randina will be laid to rest at Neshonoc Cemetery in West Salem, Wisconsin, on Friday, September 12th, at 10:00 am. A celebration of life will immediately follow at the Mindoro Lions Shelter in Mindoro, Wisconsin, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.

"The sun shines ---

The tree flourishes, Just as God's love shines, And we flourish.

But --- as the sun's warmth Passes away into autumn, The tree fades into slumber --- So must we.

How wonderful though, When spring comes --- Life comes to the tree again. God's love shines and --- Unto everlasting life we pass.

The trees and God's children All born again."
