Ronald Staudt, 67, of Charles City, Iowa, died Saturday, October 10, 2009, at the Floyd County Medical Center in Charles City after a seven year battle with cancer.

Ronald Earl Staudt was born April 20, 1942, in Floyd County, the son of Earl and Dorothy (Schmitt) Staudt. He attended St. Mary’s Catholic School at Roseville and graduated from Rockford High School in 1960. On September 4, 1965, he was united in marriage to Mona Riden at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Roseville. They farmed all their lives south of Charles City. Ronald was a steward of the earth, enjoying both grain and livestock farming. He always took great pride in the fact that he supported his family through the family farm.

Ronald will always be remembered as a person that appreciated having a well kept farm. He was a member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, the Elks Lodge, where he was a trustee for several years, served on both the Charles City and Immaculate Conception School school boards, and on the board of directors of the Colwell Coop. His interests included woodworking, golfing, bowling, boating, fishing and playing cards. Family, especially his grandchildren, was always important to Ronald and he took every opportunity possible to share his life with them and be a part of everything they were doing.

Living family members include his wife, Mona Staudt of Charles City; four children, Douglas (Susan) Staudt of Cedar Falls, Steven (Nikki) Staudt of Forest City, Charles (Angie) Staudt of Charles City and Renee (Brody) Boss of Charles City; 11 grandchildren, Alexander, William, and Isabelle Staudt, Jake, Abbey, and Gabe Staudt, Drew, Lydia and Lauren Staudt and Margaret and Madeline Boss; his mother, Dorothy Staudt of Charles City; a brother, Roger (Bonita) Staudt of Marble Rock; three sisters, Catherine (I. John) Rossi of West Des Moines, Marlys Staudt of Knoxville, Tenn. and Karen Trettin of Charles City; his mother-in-law, Margaret Riden of Charles City; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father; a brother, Kenneth in infancy; a brother-in-law, Michael Trettin; and his father-in-law, Floyd Riden.

Memorials may be directed to the family.
