Lloyd Augustine Diemert was born March 4, 1921 in the Kenilworth community west of Big Sandy, Montana. He was one of five children born to Marion "Molly" Rideout and August Diemert.
Lloyd grew up on the family farm at Kenilworth and received his education at the Black Coulee country school. Following his school years, Lloyd worked with his father before taking a job with the CCC's. In 1942 Lloyd enlisted in the U. S. Navy. He served in the European-African-Middle Eastern and the Asiatic-Pacific Campaigns during World War II. He attained the rank of Chief Motor Machinist's Mate before receiving his honorable discharge in 1945.
Lloyd returned to Montana and began working as a carpenter, first at Kalispell, then at Fort Benton. He met his wife-to-be, Ina May Milledge, and they were married on June 15, 1950 in Fort Benton. Two years later they purchased a farm south of Rudyard, where they lived and raised their family of five. Lloyd retired from farming in 1994 and sold the place to his son, James. He lived in Havre for several years and enjoyed traveling in his RV. When his health began to fail in 2004, Lloyd moved to the Big Sandy Nursing Home. He died at the rest home on the early morning of Thursday (February 26, 2009) at the age of 87.
During his years on the farm, Lloyd was active at Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Church in Hingham and was a member of the Knights of Columbus. He had also served on the N.F.O. board at Inverness.
In his younger years Lloyd enjoyed playing softball. He remained an avid baseball fan throughout his life. In his quiet time at home he enjoyed playing solitaire, using this time also for meditation and personal thoughts. Lloyd had exceptional carpenter skills; he used these talents to build all of the structures on his farmstead.
In his retirement years, Lloyd loved to travel. He made several memorable trips (two to the Philippines) and enjoyed spending time with his families.
He was preceded in death by his parents and 2 siblings (Fritz Diemert and Rosina Pegar).
Lloyd is survived by his wife, Ina May Diemert of Moses Lake, Wa.; his 5 children, Stacey (Richard) Ribellia of Moses Lake, Wa., Tom (Linda) Diemert of Turpin, Ok., Mark Diemert of Newport Richey, Fl., Luke (Lily) Diemert of Polson, and James (Sherri) Diemert of Helena; 17 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; 2 sisters, Eleanor and Rena Wendland, both of Three Forks; and numerous nephews and nieces.
A Memorial Mass was celebrated at 3:00 p.m. Monday (March 2nd) by Father Joe Diekhans at Our Lady of Ransom Catholic Church in Hingham. Sharon Spicher served as organist and Marcus Jochim provided traditional Mass music. Scripture readings were by grandchildren, Quincy Ribellia and Jessica Diemert. Lloyd's eulogy was shared by son, Tom Diemert, who also made the military flag presentation at the end of the Mass. Eucharistic ministers were Tim Pegar and Sue Wendland. Altar server was Mike Wendland. The communion gifts were presented by his grandchildren. A reception followed in the church basement. Lloyd's ashes will be buried in the Rudyard Cemetery later this spring. Cremation and arrangements were by Rockman Funeral Chapel of Chester.
