Obituary of Lloyd Yeomans
Lloyd Yeomans was born in Dutch Valley on July 26, 1924; he was the son of the late Herbert J. and Edna M. (McFarlane) Yeomans. Lloyd served overseas during WWII and was a member of Masonic Lodge.
He was always a part of a large and loving extended Yeomans family. Even though he left Sussex Corner, married and put down roots in Toronto, he returned every summer with his wife and children and couldn't wait to get "home" He earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Mount Allison University and Nova Scotia Technical College and worked as an expert in industrial conveyer belting for Goodyear Canada. He joined the army and trained men for the infantry at Camp Utopia in New Brunswick during WW11, but the war ended before he was shipped overseas. Two summers ago he came back with Bunty, their two daughters, their husbands, and four grand children, and joined in a wonderful reunion of the extended Yeomans family. At 86 years old he was the eldest family member at the gathering. His larger than life presence will remain with us.
Lloyd will live on in the hearts of "Bunty" his beloved wife of 59 years; two daughters: Edie Koplimae and her husband Avo and Molly Katrycz and her husband Mike; two sisters: Mary Lawson and her husband Stewart of Rockville and Betty Stewart and her husband Doug of Dutch Valley; his brother-in-law, Jim Attwood of Islington, Ontario; his sisters-in-law: Marilyn Yeomans of Fredericton, and Isabel Yeomans of Sussex; four grandchildren: John, Sonya, Charlie and Dylan; as well as several nieces and nephews.
