Lloyd’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandson count among our blessings witnessing and, in some cases, inheriting the quick, dry, and occasionally sarcastic sense of humor which punctuated his mostly quiet, sober presence.
Survivors include a son and his wife, John and Sandra Lindberg of Sioux City; a daughter and her husband, Karen and Marvin Heidman of Sioux City; three grandchildren, Matthew (Michelle) Lindberg and Jill and Nathan Cutler; one great-grandson, Cooper Lindberg; a sister, Charlotte Low of Onawa, Iowa; a sister-in-law, Maxine Lindberg of Marion, Iowa; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Edna; his parents; two brothers, Paul and Robert Lindberg; son-in-law, Daniel Cutler; and a brother-in-law, Raymond Low.
Memorials may be given to the Evangelical Covenant Church.
