Clifford Alfred Stieber, 87, of Wausau, Wis., passed away on Nov. 3, 2022, at Mount View Care Center, Wausau. He was born Dec. 8, 1934, in Marathon, Wis., and graduated from Wausau High School in 1953. Three years later, Cliff married Sandra Young, and together, they had five children. Cliff was proud to have served his country and received an Honorable Discharge from the Armed Forces in 1961. Throughout his career, he worked for Employers Mutual, Dri-Gas, Schuette Lumber, and France Sales & Service, where he retired as a Route Sales & Installation Technician.
Cliff was a special man to all who knew him. People gravitated towards his teasing humor, warmth, and wit. Cliff was known as kindhearted, hardworking, and dedicated to his family. He loved socializing, bowling, and fast-pitch softball, and often told stories of the famous game in which he pitched a no-hitter. In retirement, Cliff enjoyed running a lawn mowing service, gardening, and catching up with his neighbors. He found great joy in his five children and in later years, his many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Cliff is preceded in death by his wife, Sandy Stieber, and brothers, Harold and Marvin Stieber. He is survived by his five children, Vern (Patty) Stieber of Marathon, Wis., Cheryl (Claude) Seubert of Marathon, Wis., Terri Stieber of Altamonte, Fla., Kathy (Chuck) Jonas of Wausau, Wis., and Mike (Cheri) Stieber of Thornton, Ind.; 11 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and brother Howard (Kathy) Stieber of Holland, Mich.
