Lloyd F. Hunsaker passed away peacefully at Terrace Grove Assisted Living facility in Logan, Utah on February
8, 2025 surrounded by his 4 children and multiple grandchildren and great grandchildren. Lloyd was born to
Leron and Isabel Hunsaker on July 30, 1939 in Smoot, Wyoming. He was the second of seven children. He
attended Star Valley High School where he played in the school band and loved playing football. He attended
Snow College on a football scholarship and continued his love of music playing the drums and saxophone in a
local band there. After 2 years at Snow he transferred to Utah State University where he met the love of his
life, Eileen Cornaby. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 1, 1961. He graduated with his
degree in elementary education shortly thereafter and moved to Smithfield where he took a job teaching at
Summit Elementary School. Lloyd loved education and had a positive influence on the lives of each and every
student who came into his classroom. While living in Smithfield, Lloyd and Eileen welcomed 4 children into
their home; Shane Lloyd, Christian Hal, Nathan Allen and Joy Lee. In 1980 the Hunsaker's moved to Smoot,
Wyoming where Lloyd took over the family farm and started teaching at Afton Elementary. Lloyd loved to work
as was evidenced by the various jobs he took on throughout his life from a park ranger at Golden Spike
National Historic Park and Yellowstone National Park to dock worker at ZCMI to farmer to teacher to security
guard and various odd jobs in between. He decided to retire from Afton Elementary and the formal working life
in 1999. In October 2008 his life would change forever when he lost his sweetheart, Eileen, to a sudden,
severe stroke. After her death he needed something to occupy his time, so he went to work for his good friend
Ed Bruce as a security guard at Simplot's Smoky Canyon Mine. He was a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints where his favorite calling was being a home teacher. Lloyd found great joy in the
loving associations he had with his 16 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. They all knew that a visit with
Grandpa would include the best popcorn on earth, a belly full of fresh raspberries, a Creamie or two, and some
exhilarating rides on the golf cart or a 4-wheeler, not to mention some friendly skeet shooting competitions in
the backyard. As one granddaughter put it, "A trip to grandpa's house was way better than Disneyland!" Lloyd
is survived by his son Shane (Gaelynn) of Providence, Utah; son Christian (Geralee) of Fairview, Wyoming;
son Nathan (Audra) of Ammon, Idaho; daughter Joy (Tom) Payne of San Tan Valley, Arizona; 5 grandsons, 10
granddaughters, 5 great grandsons, 4 great granddaughters, brothers Kent, Robert, Spencer, Kirk and Mike
Hunsaker, sister Ronna Kingston and numerous sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in
death by his wife Eileen, his father and mother-in-law Allen and Fern Cornaby, his parents Leron and Isabel
Hunsaker and his grandson Jaxon Payne. A celebration of life in Lloyd's honor will take place in June, his
favorite time of the year.
