Scott Spencer Greiman, age 71, of Spring Valley, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 6, 2024. He was born on Oct. 6, 1952, in Mason City, Iowa to Gerald and Beverly (Reemtsma) Greiman.
Scott spent his early years on the family farm in Garner, Iowa, where he developed a love for raising quarter horses, shorthorn cattle, and other animals. Following his graduation from high school, Scott pursued his passion for animals by attending Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
In 1980, Scott married the love of his life, Lois Nelson. Their union was blessed with three wonderful children: Travis, Justin, and Tara. The family eventually moved to Dayton, Minn., where Scott founded and operated the Maple Grove Animal Hospital in Maple Grove, Minn. for over 30 years.
Upon retiring, Scott and Lois fulfilled their dream of moving to a rural area in the driftless region of Wisconsin, an area untouched by the last ice age. There, they enjoyed the natural beauty of western Wisconsin and cherished their time on their farm, raising horses, cattle, and various other farm animals.
Scott found immense joy in spending time with his family, of whom he was incredibly proud. He had a love for long walks, breathtaking sunsets, and was also a classically trained concert pianist.
Scott is survived by his beloved wife, Lois; his children, Travis (Eliane) Greiman, Justin (Ruth) Greiman, and Tara (Evan Carmen) Greiman; 10 beautiful grandchildren; his brothers, Randy (Marian) Greiman, and Mark Greiman; and several nieces.
