Lloyd is survived by his loving wife of 75 years, Jeanette Shaw Williamson, his only son, Roger M. Williamson and his wife Jo, his only grandson, David E. Williamson and his wife Julie, his great-granddaughter, Lauren N. Williamson, and his sister, Reva Graves.
Mr. Williamson served his country in World War II in the U.S. Navy, was honorably discharged in 1946 and began his career as a civil servant with the Veterans Administration Hospital, retiring after 34 years of service.
