Lloyd Staab Obituary
March 20, 1933 - November 8, 2025
Lloyd V. Staab, 92, of East Moline, Illinois, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Divine Mercy Parish at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, Silvis, Illinois. Entombment will follow in St. Mary's Mausoleum, East Moline. Visitation is scheduled for Friday, November 14, 2025, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Van Hoe Funeral Home, East Moline, where a Rosary will be recited at 3 p.m.
Born on March 20, 1933, in Chillicothe, Illinois, Lloyd was the son of John and Nellie Marie Ziegler Staab. He was a proud graduate of the United Township High School Class of 1951. Upon graduation, he honorably served his country in the U.S. Army with the 25th Infantry Division during the Korean Conflict. Lloyd married his high school sweetheart, Marilyn Cuvele, on May 21, 1955, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, East Moline. They shared 70 wonderful years of marriage. He was employed at the John Deere Harvester Works for 31 years, retiring as the Night Superintendent. He was proud to say he had carried out a personally significant milestone of being retired longer than his active employment. In retirement, he and Marilyn enjoyed their summers at their beloved Golden Pond in Northern Minnesota.
Survivors include his wife of 70 years, Marilyn Staab; his children, Jeff Staab, and Jayne (Jim) Field; and his cherished grandchildren, Julia (Jake) Valente, and Captain (USMC) Joe (Riley) Field. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Irwin Staab.
In lieu of flowers and gifts, memorials may be made to Divine Mercy Parish at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church or Hand in Hand, 3860 Middle Rd, Bettendorf, Iowa.

I loved working for him as a line supervisor on 2nd shift in v-building and in production control as the parts hot list coordinator. Two stories. First as the hot list coordinator every late afternoon we met and I gave him the hot parts that were needed for the next day´s production. Lloyd always ate his dinner during our meeting and on this particular night he had a hard boiled egg, cracked it open on the edge of his desk above his lap and this time the egg landed all over his lap as it was not boiled. He called his wife immediately and blasted her the riot act and then slammed the phone down. Then with his wry smile winking with enjoyment said. "she did that on purpose." Second one is one night in October we were told by Lloyd to stay until the v-building was cleared for inventory shut down. About 11:00 PM he stopped over and gave me I think $40 and asked if this was enough for pizza from a pizza place in Silvis and he told me to get enough for all the supervisors and to pick them up and then call him on the radio because he wanted to join us for pizza. I radioed him when I returned to the Harvester Works and when he stopped by to eat in front of all my work supervisors asked me if I had a beer. I said "of course not. I had 2. He laughed, we all laughed. Even though I have not seen him in years I had always loved his mentoring of me.

I really liked Lloyd. When I filled in for the second shift maintenance supervisors, he would come by and talk about factory priorities and ask about my family. Lloyd was tough, but very fair. He used to let me use his Cushman scooter on the day shift in the factory (as long as I kept it full of gas!) Everyone has a Lloyd Stab story. Im sure many will be laughingly told at the visitation. RIP buddy!
