Glenn Edward Scoville Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Glenn E. Scoville, age 81, of Richland Center died suddenly Tuesday, September 1, 2020, at the Richland Hospital. He was born on September 15, 1938, in Post Falls, Idaho, the son of Wesley Mearl and Albertina Rose (Engesser) Scoville. On June 19, 1959 he married Dolores Marie Dunn in Lewistown, Montana. Glenn was the most loved husband, dad, brother, and friend. He grew up in Winifred Montana on the sprawling PN ranch along the Missouri River. He could ride horseback for miles and miles and never reach the other side. Fishing in the Belt Mountains was a favorite pastime. He worked at Sears in Lewistown Montana as the tool department Sales Manager. Glenn & Dolores saved every bit of money they could and in 1967, leaving his family and friends and everything familiar behind, this Montana Cowboy with big dreams of farming in Wisconsin brought Dolores and his two small children along for the ride. Glenn’s cousin & Uncle also came to Wisconsin. Glenn & Dolores worked side by side and made their dreams come true. Memories of watching it rain after a long drought and the relief, happiness and enthusiasm for the corn crop could be seen on his face. Glenn’s optimism for life drew people to him and so many friends were made along the way. Sharing his knowledge of farming with young and old alike was a joy for him. He was very proud of his family. His son Dean continues to farm, and almost daily conversations about the crops and farming were highlights of his day. Helping his daughter Sherry with the Sears store was another outlet for his strong business sense. He surprised his wife Dolores later in life by becoming the chef of the house. His meals were better than any fancy restaurant meal. Glenn never really retired. He still planted and harvested his corn crop, sold seed corn every year and grew the biggest and best garden around. He was able to enjoy more time doing the things he loved. Trips to Lake Havasu City in Arizona each winter were highlighted by his fabulous cooking, growing his new crops (oranges, grapefruit, and lemons) and visiting and playing Texas hold ‘em with family and friends. Survivors include his wife, Dolores Scoville of Richland Center; two children, Dean (Rene) Scoville of Richland Center, Sherry (Wilbur) Giddings of Lone Rock; 6 grandchildren, Sid (Kelly) Scoville of Richland Center, Shawna (Sean) Maly of Viroqua, Ricky (Christina) Scoville of Onalaska, Sabrina (Denny) McDonald of Portland, Oregon, Megan Giddings of La Crosse, Morgan Giddings of Lone Rock; 11 great grandchildren; two brothers and a sister, John (Carol) Scoville of Seattle, Washington, Cathy (Dale) Deckard of Springfield, Missouri, James (Barbara) Scoville of Sturgeon Bay, WI; a brother-in-law, Duane Rohrer of Michigan; a sister-in-law, Patricia Scoville of Seattle, Washington; other relatives and friends.
