Lloyd Elmer Moyer, 93, of Schill Manor, Ellwood City, formerly of Fombell, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at the Ellwood City Hospital.
He was born in Fombell, Beaver County, on September 26 1924 to the late Elmer and Esther Herrmann Moyer.
He married the late Phyllis Catherine Boots Moyer on June 12 1948. She preceded him in death in October 2014.

He and Phyllis were active in the Sheer Luck card club and they volunteered with the Ellwood and Zelienople Meals on Wheels and the local Angel Food program.
