Larry was born the son of Elmer and Blanche (Peck) Beauchene on July 9, 1930, in Jefferson, S.D. He graduated from Sloan High School.
Larry married Betty Law on Jan. 11, 1951, in Salix, Iowa. He spent several years in Aberdeen, S.D., Denver and Sioux City but lived most of his life in Salix, Iowa and Sloan.
Larry worked for Mobil Oil where he retired after 25 years as a senior auditor.
He was a proud husband devoted to his wife, Betty, for 67 years. He loved her of course, but better than that, he chose her day after day. He was a very loving, caring and giving man known as “Sonny” for many years. He welcomed everyone and really enjoyed giving back to others. He loved the outdoors, fishing and teaching his grandkids how to ski.
He honorably served his country in the U.S. Army. Larry and his wife volunteered at Pleasant View Care Center in Whiting for 25 years.
Larry is survived by his wife, Betty Beauchene; two sons, Randy and Richard Beauchene; four sisters, Shirley, Bonnie, Joyce and Delores; five grandchildren, Blake, Lindsey, Casey, Lance and Katie; and 10 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Evelyn.
