Jean M. Lloyd (Scheberle), Wausau, WI 87, resident at Cedar Creek Manor gently slipped off to heaven, for her next adventure, on August 31, 2021. She was surrounded by her kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Jean was reunited with her husband of 55 years, Donald Lloyd.
Jean was born September 7, 1933 in Sturtevant, WI, as the youngest of four children. She met and fell in love with Donald Lloyd of Ripon, WI and married September 29, 1956. As a young couple they enjoyed square dancing. In fact they danced in a pool, on a snowbank, and in a jail as part of competitions. They loved to polka dance and play cards with friends and family --who remembers Spoons?
The couple had four children, Brenda (Jack) Koshollek, Kathy (Larry) Zimmerman, Raymond (Luanne) Lloyd and Karen (Dean) Champine. Jean was blessed to have grandchildren and great grandchildren in her life as well. Alanna and Andy Chikowski (Autumn), Ashley and Jordan Kasprak (Max and Reese), Don and Angie Lloyd (Maggie), David Lloyd (Triston and Mackenzie), Amanda and Phil Courtier, Larry Zimmerman and Sheridan, Brooke and Josh Howe (Draxton and Zayla), Tanner and Hayley Champine, and three more great grand babies arriving this winter.
Jean had been the office manager for Lloyd Brothers Trucking which began in 1966 by her husband and his brother Robert (Norleen) Lloyd. After selling Lloyd Brothers (LB) in 1976, she continued to work for LB trucking until retirement. Since she was active in her children's lives and businesses, receiving joy from the quality time they shared and memories they made. Each of Jean's children inherited their parent's entrepreneurial spirit, so there was always a project to help with. Whether transplanting at the greenhouse or assisting at the coffee shop she treasured this time together. For many years she filled her spare time caring for her yard -- she found lawn mowing especially enjoyable-- and it was important to her to keep a fresh coat of wax on her car too. Playing cards was a favorite pastime throughout her life...if you've ever played cards with her you experienced her competitive side too. She lived by the work hard play hard motto.
We want to give a special thank you to all the caregivers at Cedar Creek Manor who graciously cared for our mom and those who offered their friendship, kindness and love during her life.
In honor of her, we ask that everyone wear purple (her favorite color), be it a tie, a scarf or pin to her service.
Services will be held on Sunday, September 12, 2021 at John J. Buettgen Funeral Home 948 Grand Ave., Schofield with visitation from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service at 2:30 p.m.
