Clarence Denton Hallman
Clarence “Clancy” Denton Hallman, 95 of Pasco, Washington went to be with the Lord July 23, 2025. Clancy was born on December 31, 1929, in Greenwood, South Dakota. His family moved to Moxee, Washington in 1937. Where he spent his formative years there and graduated from Moxee High School.
Clancy met the love of his life, Dorothy Schumacher in Othello, Washington. They were married October 31, 1953. They spent a wonderful, loving life of 66 years together. Over those years together they lived in multiple cities and states. They also love to travel together to visit family and friends. Clancy and Dorothy enjoyed spending winters in Arizona watching spring training baseball, especially their beloved Seattle Mariners.
Clancy was an above average bowler and spent many years bowling in multiple leagues. However, his passion was for fishing. “The fishermen” as he was fondly known to spend many days on the water catching his salmon. After retirement he guided for fish in Canada for over 16 years. He has many memories of his adventures in Canada especially of the time he spent with his fishing buddies.
Clancy led a full life. He served in the U.S. Army enlisting shortly after high school. He spent most of his career in the underground construction business and had the privilege of working for many successful companies. He was a sought-after supervisor and estimator. His talent and expertise took him to many exotic places that included Alaska, Guam and Panama. His professionalism and success kept him in demand as a consultant for many years following his retirement.
He also volunteered for Meals on Wheels for over nine years. He delivered many meals to multiple individuals until the age of 90. Clancy was also a member of C3 Tri-Cities church in Richland Washington for over 25 years. In his final days he was surrounded by his loving family.
Dad, we know you are now dancing in heaven with mom. Rest in peace.
He is survived by his brother Gene (Jan) Hallman, sisters Martha (Ken) Quakkelaar, Maxine (Dave) Ballinger, Linda Werst (George Tenborg), sons Ken Hallman and Rick Hallman, daughters Kristy (Glenn) Collins and Renée (Ed) Salko. Clancy and Dorothy had 14 grandchildren: Josh, Jenny, Morgan, Megan, Kysha, Kennedy, Aubree, Mandy, Cheylynne, Sara, Joey, Austin, David and Nikki. He is survived by many great grandchildren. Clancy had many extended family members that he loved dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents William and Nellie Hallman, his loving wife Dorothy Hallman, his brothers Billy and Lawrence Hallman, his sister Dolores Louckes and brother-in-law Bill Werst. In addition, great grandchildren Benjamin and Sebastian.
Special thanks to the wonderful folks at Tri-Cities Chaplaincy for their compassionate care and devotion. We are extremely grateful to his loving caregiver Leiloni from Home Instead. If you wish to make any donations to Chaplaincy, please make them under Clancy’s name.
A celebration of life and reception for both Dorothy and Clancy will be held at Einan’s at Sunset Event Center on August 9, 2025 at 11:30am.
Please honor Clancy and his family with your thoughts and memories.
Though I wish I had known more of Clancy’s remarkable life from him while he was here to tell his story, his obituary was incredibly loving and informative.
Len and I send you our sympathies, thoughts and prayers as you grieve.
To the Hallman family , I am so sorry for your loss. I met both Dorothy and Clancy through their daughter, Renee. Dorothy had the most beautiful crystal blue eyes that I’ve ever seen! Clancy had such a great smile. Clancy and Dorothy were so cute together. How they loved one another, you could see it in how they smiled when they were together. Clancy wasn’t the same after Dorothy’s passing . I’m sure they’re reunited in heaven, smiling ant each other and dancing on the clouds. Until you all meet in heaven one day, let all your fond memories of them both carry you through . Good bye , Clancy until we meet again !
What an amazing life. I only knew him for a little while but I loved listening to his Army stories and of course all of us in Pebble Creek knew him as coach. He lived to watch Renee play Pickleball.
My deepest condolences to all his family and friends. Clancy was such an inspiration and he so proudly loved his family. I fondly remember listening to his beautiful stories about his wife and family and also enjoyed the stories about his estimating career. You could tell he genuinely loved his family, career, and community. He lived a long, wonderful life and now he is dancing up in the sky with Dorothy. Sending lots of love and prayers during this difficult time.
I am so glad to have a chance to know you. Your smiles always stay with me.
My Condolences Renee and family….
Clancy “Dad”, what an honor and a privilege to have met him. His legacy will live on in the lives of all he touched. When I first met Clancy he reminded me of my own dad I lost 7 years ago. He had the same cute smile, a warm and gentle hug, and a quick sense of humor that made you instantly smile. We remember people for different reasons. We remember a life well-lived and a person well-loved. Clancy had many stories and even shared some of those stories with my late husband before he past. He brought laughter to a room, he always seemed to have a unique perspective on life. So as you honor your loved one, be sure to take heart in all the stories and memories in the laughter and love, in the tears and in the hugs. Having Clancy “dad” come to cheer on Renee and my pickleball matches was always very special. Bringing him little gift bags filled with his favorite treats was even more rewarding to me than it probably was to him. I will always remember him saying “I think she wants to be my valentine” . Such a dear sweet man, I had so much admoration for. He loved his family, his church and many friends he met along the way. He shared so many traits of my own father. He served in the Army, worked construction and loved to fish. Its no wonder I loved to call him Clancy “dad”. May he rest in peace in the celebration of a life well-lived and a person much-loved. My sincere sympathy to all his family and friends. May you be touched by the healing power of prayer and feel the warmth of those who love you. It is faith that lifts us up, Love that brings us comfort and strength that allows us to carry on. Love and Hugs, Pam Smith
For the few years that I knew you, you were a great coach. See you in heaven, Clancy.
Dear uncle : I will miss all the good times we had, starting when we bought westside market in Grandview in 1981 , we didnt always get along in that business , But we never held grudges , later we became competitors against each others store , all the fishing trips and trips down south for the winters with Dorothy and Sharon where special times. I am sure you and Dorothy are together again .
