William Lloyd Sconiers

Born into what he referred to as “hard times” in McComb, Mississippi, he was an Eagle Scout and graduated first in his class at the University of Southern Mississippi before spending two years in the Army, including 18 months in Germany. This was the beginning of his lifelong wanderlust that culminated in visits to almost every continent and the opportunity to live in six states and three countries including Venezuela, England, and Holland. He spent his entire career with Exxon Corporation as Audit Manager and Division Controller, retiring in 1986 to Hendersonville, Tennessee.

He had many passions including rare stamp and coin collecting, reading, and history. Lloyd was a dedicated Christian who taught Bible Study and committed many hours to the prison ministry at his church. As a man who never met a stranger and with a wide circle of friends, he will be remembered for his keen intellect, sharp sense of humor, loud whistling and for being a loyal and loving father. But mostly he will be remembered for his steadfast faith and for his fierce devotion to the love of his life, his wife, Catherine Bianca Sconiers.

In addition to Catherine, he is survived by his four children: Bill Sconiers (Ginny) of Winterville, North Carolina, John Sconiers (Kim) of Kennesaw, Georgia, Karen White (Tim) of Milton, Georgia, and Steven Sconiers (Shawna) of Murfreesboro, Tennessee as well as eleven grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Annabelle and Walker Sconiers of DeFuniak Springs, Florida, his brother, Harold, and nephew, Wayne, of Biloxi, Mississippi.

The funeral service will be held at Winkenhofer Pine Ridge Funeral Home in Kennesaw, on October 1st at 2:00 pm. Visitation at the same location will begin at 11:00 am. His family will be present to welcome loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, we welcome donations to the American Alzheimer’s Association.
