Gregory Clayton Tiedemann
Born in Grinnell, Iowa on January 1, 1955, to Clayton and Wannetta Tiedemann.
Passed away on February 3, 2022, in McAllen, Texas while on vacation with his loving wife Barbara by his side.
Greg graduated from Grinnell High School with the class of 1973 and later graduated from Schenectady County Community College in New York State.
Greg married Barbara Prentiss on November 25, 1978, and were a great team no matter what life threw at them!
He enjoyed many professions throughout his life but most of all enjoyed his years of work with Pepsi Cola from which he retired in 2012 as Plant Manager in St Louis, Missouri. Feeling there was yet more to do he started another exciting career with Niagara Bottling as Plant Director in Denver, Colorado which he so very much enjoyed! He retired once again in 2020. His retirement dream was to play golf and enjoy the sport of Trap Shooting which brought them to Bella Vista, Arkansas.
Greg was preceded in death by his parents, Clayton and Wannetta; his brother, Gean and his wife Donna; sister-in-law, Helen Ann Prentiss Coon; brother-in-law, Richard Prentiss and his wife Baerbel; his Mother and Father-in-law, Helen and Dick Prentiss; and his beloved dog, Samantha.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife Barbara; sister, Joyce Ingels (Harold); brother-in-law, Edward Prentiss (Shirley); sister-in-law, Roberta Sarrutto (Patsy); many nieces, nephews, cousins and cousins-in-laws near and far and his lifelong friends Sam and Vickie Reaves and all the wonderful friends he made since moving to Bella Vista in the golf groups and everyone out at the shooting range.
Greg being the generous soul that he was, has given the gift of sight to 2 individuals through Corneal Donation.
The family would like to thank all his friends and colleagues for the outpouring of prayers and love during this difficult time.
There are no services planned at this time but a family gathering to honor his life will be held at a later date.
Greg - You left your mark on this world - A JOB WELL DONE !! We all love you and will miss you greatly!! RIP Barb and Family
