Schexnyder, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schexnyder of Rayne, and husband of the former Miss Marilyn McBride, who was instantly killed in an airplane crash at 12:30 A. M., Wednesday morning near Blytheville, Arkansas. Lieut. Schexnyder had flown to Lafayette and come on to Rayne for a brief visit with his parents, ityleaving the field at Lafayette to fly back to his base at Blytheville where he had been stationed. His parents were notified at 4 A. M., Wednesday that he had been instantly killed when his plane crashed on the outskirts of the field. The remains were returned to Rayne by Southern Pacific train, at 12:50 A. M., Friday morning, and were accompanied by an officer from the field as a military escort. Members of the family and an honor guard from Arcenaux Post, American Legion, met the train Friday morning and accompanied the funeral coach to the Schexnyder home where the remains are to be held in state until the hour of the funeral. Services will be held at 9 A. M., Saturday morning from St. Joseph Catholic Church, with Very Rev. Msgr. Hubert Lerschen officiating, and members of the Legion again serving as a guard of Honor and pall bearers. Interment will follow in the adjacent Catholic cemetery with the Gossen Funeral Home directing the arrangements. Born on July 8, 1920, and reared in Rayne Leroy was one of the community's finest young men. He was educated in local schools, graduated from Rayne high school, and later completing a special course at the Anderson Diesel School in Los Angeles, Calif. He later returned to Rayne where he accepted a position with the Superior Oil Company. He had always been interested in flying, and took private lessons at Patterson, La. After completing this course, he later volunteered into the air corps and would have been in this service two years this coming August. He trained in Nashville, Tenn., Montgomery, Ala., Lafayette, La., Greenwood, Miss., and at Blytheville, being sent from there to Randolph Field, San Antonio, for a special instructor's course. He was later returned to Blytheville where he has been serving as instructor, and also as squadron commander. He had gained a very fine reputation in the service and was rendering a very valuable work for his country. On April 14, 1941, he was married to Miss Marilyn McBride of Rayne, who was with him in Arkansas, where they were making their home for the present. He is survived by his widow, his parents, Rayne, one brother, Gardner, and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schexnyder of two sisters, Mrs. Bert Sweeney and Joyce Schexnyder, all of Rayne. To Marilyn, to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schexnyder, to the brother and sister, and to all who are shocked and bereaved over the tragic death, Tribune expressed its sympathy from the depths of a heart which grieves with the min their untimely loss of one so precious and dear. Their loss is the nation's, also, since men of Leroy's calibre have proven themselves the very backbone of America's defensive setup, and they are unexpendable. May their sorrow be tempered with a sense of great pride in Leroy's wonderful record of service to his country. His every effort, every thought, and every action was devoted to aiding in the early and successful conclusion of the war, and he truly earned the words of praise which were inspired by the Heavenly Comforter, "well done, thou good and faithful servant." Upon sacrifices such as this are Victory built. (Published in The Rayne-Acadian Tribune on May 5, 1944) | Schexnyder, Lt. Roy Lyonel (I4036)

| 2548 | Obituary: Lisa Hermes April 16, 1955 - February 29, 2024 Lisa Martin Hermes (nee Lisa Ann Martin), aged 68, passed away in her Irondale, Alabama home on February 29, 2024. She is survived by her husband, Terry Hermes, her son Clinton Hermes and wife JJ, her daughter Leah McNac and husband Chris, and her brother Harold Martin and wife Valerie. Lisa was born on April 16, 1955, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She attended East Wauwatosa High School and graduated in 1972. She then attended the University of Milwaukee-Wisconsin, and because of her exceptional intelligence and work ethic, graduated in only two years, in 1974, with a major in Philosophy. She was accepted as a Fellow into the graduate school Philosophy program at Marquette University. She graduated with a Ph.D. in Philosophy in 1983. She met her future husband Terry in her first year of grad school, and they were married in 1976. Her commitment to nurturing children with a strong emphasis on intellectual development paid off very well. Both children were outstanding students and now have successful careers. Among her occupations during her working life, she had two favorites. One was the supervisor of the suicide hotline at the Birmingham Crisis Center during the 1990's and early 2000's. She recruited and trained phone counselors and fielded many suicide crisis phone calls herself. There is no way to measure how many lives she had a hand in saving, but it must have been quite a number. Perhaps her favorite job was teaching philosophy courses at the college level. She taught one year at Miles College in Birmingham, and then for several years in the late 2000's and early 2010's as an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. By all accounts, she was a popular teacher, much-loved by her students. Throughout her life, she was an ardent advocate for solid ethical standards in both public and private life, and always loved a good debate. She was an avid reader of fiction, especially mysteries and complex psychological plots. She was also an avid follower of sports. Growing up in Milwaukee, she was of course raised as a Packer fan, and a fan of the Braves, who resided in Milwaukee when she was first introduced to sports in her childhood. When the Braves had the audacity to move to Atlanta, she disowned them, and remained steadfastly opposed to the Braves for the rest of her life. It was always a source of merriment to the rest of the family. As a fitting memorial to Lisa, we encourage those who are willing and able, to contribute to the Birmingham Crisis Center.

| 2550 | Obituary: Lloyd K. Leslie December 12, 1925 - March 20, 2014 Lloyd Kenneth Leslie passed from this life after a lengthy illness on Thursday, March 20, 2014 while residing at a local care center. He was blessed to have his wife and several family members at his side. Services are scheduled at the Heartland Funeral Home Chapel for Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 3:00 PM. Interment will be in the Blanket Cemetery. The family will be available prior to the service for visitation from 2:00 until 3:00. Lloyd was born on December 12, 1925 in Stonewall, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma to Robert E. and Veda Davidson Leslie. His mother would die of pneumonia when he was 18 months old and he and his older sister, Beatrice, would be raised by their father until Lloyd's age 14 when his father would remarry. Lloyd would join and work with the CC Camps until he was old enough to enter the Navy where he spent over two years during WWII. Upon his Honorable Discharge from the Navy he would return to his native Oklahoma and reunite with his childhood sweetheart, Zelma Crow. They would marry in 1946; have their first son, Wendyl in 1947 and their second son, Jerry, in 1948. Lloyd would support his family as a very hard-working, street-smart, industrious and staunchly independent husband and father. He had a talent for turning his hand to many crafts and trades early in his life and was soon recognized by business owners as a trustworthy and dependable manager. He would establish a retail milk and dairy delivery business in Ada, Oklahoma, which would grow and become a profitable enterprise employing several men. He would spend about 20 years building this and two other milk and dairy delivery businesses in Duncan and McAlester, Oklahoma. Retiring from this industry he and Zelma would purchase and operate a very successful Sonic Drive-In in Garland, Texas for several years. From the proceeds of this business success they would move to Wilson, Oklahoma, buy a 40-acre plot of rich ground, build a new home and raise cattle and pigs for several years. They would then retire to Ardmore, Oklahoma for a period of time. With the arrival of several grandchildren who lived in Texas they moved to Utopia, Texas, and then got even closer to grandchildren and great-grandchildren by a move to Boerne, Texas. In 2005 they would move to Brownwood. Lloyd and Zelma were always involved in churches of Christ wherever they lived. Most recently they were members at the 4th and Stewart Church of Christ in Brownwood. He is survived by his wife, Zelma of Brownwood; two sons, Wendyl Leslie and wife Carolyn, of Boerne, Jerry Leslie and wife Janet of Brownwood; grandchildren, Keith and Pam Leslie, Dustin and Sarah Leslie, Brooke and Curtis Anderson, Jeff and Tiffany Leslie, and Jennifer and Andy Chen; and 18 great-grandchildren.
