Obituary of Lloyd Maki

Lloyd Maki, 92, died on September 20, 2023, of complications due to congestive heart failure at Logan Health Conrad. He was born December 5, 1930, in Great Falls, MT, to Lempi S. (Carlson) and Severt E. Maki. He joined older sister Mildred on the ranch between Ulm and Cascade. Baby sister Arlene would fill out the family passel eight years later. He married Ethel Marion Hinerman on August 24, 1961. They had two sons, Dean and Baby Maki. Later, Ethel would be reunited with her firstborn, Ken Clark, and he joined the family unit for the last years of their lives. Horseman, rancher, hunter, and avid rodeo fan, Lloyd's life's work was among the hay meadows and cattle along the Missouri River which his father had established. Growing up on the ranch and then later purchasing it from his dad, Lloyd spent a total of seventy-two years stewarding the land and animals. Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents; wife; sons; and sisters, Mildred D. Webb and Arlene L. Duty. He is survived by nieces, Cindie Krone of Great Falls and Vickie Duty (Jack) of Reno, NV; nephew, Rod Duty (Heather) of Choteau; and stepson, Ken Clark (Sheila) of Leesburg, VA. A private service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at P.O. Box 365, Cascade, MT 59421 or posted online at www.OConnorFuneralHome.com.
