B. Lloyd Poelman passed away peacefully at his home following a struggle with Lewy Body Disease.
Lloyd lived a thorough life. He worked diligently to provide for his large family, he served God by dedicating his time and talents to numerous church callings and he remained an ever kind and gracious man.
Born at home in Salt Lake City, Lloyd grew up with few material possessions, but rich in love, faith, and music.
As a young man, Lloyd served an LDS mission to the Netherlands, his fatherland. In midlife, he served as president of the Tennessee Nashville Mission, accompanied by his companion, Catherine, and family where the last of nine children was born.
He loved and served others as a bishop and stake president in the University, Bonneville, and Monument Park North stakes.
After retiring from practicing law at Kirton McConkie, Lloyd served with his wife as senior missionaries in the rural town of Colina, Chile. Most recently, Lloyd felt deeply privileged to serve in the Salt Lake Temple.
Lloyd was largely a self-taught musician who composed several instrumental and choral numbers, enjoyed improvising on the piano and playing his organ. At different times in his life, Lloyd was drawn to pigeons, motorcycles and books on the cosmos.
He enjoyed years of construction projects and recreation at the beloved "Mill" in rural St. Charles, Idaho. With tools, stain, and sweat, he led the transformation of an old grain mill into an eclectic, inviting family gathering place.
His wife, Catherine Edwards; children, Elizabeth (Stephen) Simmons, Rebecca (David) Bennion, Emily (David) Sheffield, Cathy (Marc) Boyden, Michael (Tawna), Martha (Todd) Ethington, Andrew (Betsabe), and John; twenty-seven grandchildren; one great-grandchild; brothers, Stuart (Helen) and Keith (Linda); and sister, Marva (Bob) Pothier, are comforted to know Lloyd is once again vitally engaged on the other side of the veil alongside his son, Stephen; his parents, Hendrik and Ella; his brother, Ronald (Anne); and sister, Carol (Brent) Feltch.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. in the Monument Park Second Ward Chapel, 1005 South 2000 East, Salt Lake City, Utah. A visitation will be held on Friday, April 18, 2014 at the same location from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and at 10:30 a.m. prior to the services.
Interment will be in the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 3401 South Highland Drive (1450 East), Millcreek, Utah.
