Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Elrosa. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

He attended country grade school near St. Martin. On October 19, 1948, Joe was united in marriage to Verena Kampsen. This union was blessed with five sons and five daughters.

They moved to Belgrade in 2012 and just recently to Parkview Assisted Living in Melrose. </p> <p>Joe was a member of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church where he served as an usher and was a member of Catholic United Financial. He enjoyed fishing, playing cards, farming, and playing ball with the kids in the backyard. He especially loved time spent with his family, playing guitar for his family during gatherings, woodworking and making things for his family. His pride and joy were giving rides to his grandchildren on the Ford tractor and some good-natured teasing. He is remembered for the love and care he gave to his wife and family, his smile, laughter and teasing, strong faith and his always telling his kids to “get home safe” when they were leaving.</p> <p>He is survived by his wife of 72 years, Verena; children: Diane (Ken) Dold of Sauk Centre, Don (Audrey) Olmscheid of Paynesville, Rosann (Dave) Braegelman of Belgrade, Jim (Lorali) Olmscheid of Victor, Montana, Mark Olmscheid of Belgrade, Mary Beth (Dennis) Rath of Belgrade, Deb (Denny) Yoerg of Clear Lake, Ron “Butch” (Emmy) Olmscheid of Albany and Lisa (Jim) Meyer of Albany; daughter-in-law, Jeanne Olmscheid of Paynesville; 30 grandchildren; 43 great-grandchildren; siblings, Rose Terres and Elmer (Marilyn) Olmscheid; sister-in-law, Norine Olmscheid and numerous nieces and nephew. </p> <p>Joseph was preceded in death by his son, Steve; great-granddaughter, Addison; parents; brothers, Leander and Francis and sisters, Lidwina, Christine and Lucille. </p>March 18, 1927 - November 23, 202003/18/192711/23/2020
