Lloyd Warren Clendennen

Dateline: Three Rivers, Texas Lloyd Warren Clendennen, passed away Friday, September 12, 2025, at his home in Three Rivers, Texas, at the age of 76. Lloyd was born in Austin, Texas on November 2,1948 to Lemmie & Beatrice Sisk Clendennen. His father was a field gauger and the family moved around a bit before settling in Bloomington, Texas. Lloyd was extremely smart and a true character. He was known all over Victoria County and loved running the roads. He graduated from Bloomington High School in 1967 and immediately went to work. He learned to operate heavy equipment and did highway construction, traveling throughout South Texas where he met Clara Stolar in Columbus, Texas where they married in 1970. This union would welcome two sons to carry on the Clendennen name; Lloyd “Freddy” and Theodore. They eventually settled in Bloomington when Lloyd hired on at Tennessee Gas/Tineco. Their marriage ended in 1986 and Lloyd would go on to marry Cora Ludewig Glover, a lifelong family friend. She brought her three children to the family, Earl, Tiki, and M’Liss. Tineco was bought out soon after Lloyd received his 25-year service award and the new company would eventually downsize leading Lloyd to go down a whole new path; working for Bloomington ISD as a substitute teacher and a bus driver. He would wind up back to his roots though and operate heavy equipment building highways in South Texas after Cora retired and they moved to her family’s ranch outside of Three Rivers. They were married until her death in 2020; but not before enjoying many happy years together. They loved finding and buying antiques and would become a fixture at The Goodie Box with their unique treasures, raising horses, sitting in his rocking chair watching the wildlife, and enjoying the multitude of grandchildren their blended family would bring to the family tree. After Cora’s passing in 2020 he moved into Three Rivers where he would visit with friends during his trips around town and on his errand runs to Beeville. Lloyd was known to stop by the Valero station every morning to get his coffee and gather up his newspapers so he could keep up with world events. He would head to his favorite spots like 3G Firearms or the Dollar General, the Market or all the way to Beeville to Walmart. He never met a stranger and would sit and visit with people everywhere he went. He always had stories to tell, whether it was his wild cat days as a teen in Victoria County, or his adventures as a bus driver, or just share some age old wisdom he had learned along the way. He loved catching up with old friends and was excited to attend the upcoming multi year reunion for Bloomington High School. Lloyd’s friendship, strong love, crazy stories, and advice will be missed by everyone who knew him. He leaves behind his siblings, Ricky Clendennen of Baytown, Texas, Gary Clendennen of Baytown Texas, and Chester Cunningham of Longview, Texas; and their families. His two sons, Lloyd W Clendennen, Jr “Freddy” (Kimberly) of Baltimore, Maryland, Theodore(Traci) of Victoria Texas. He also leaves behind Cora’s children; Earl Glover III (Kecia) Ft Collins, Colorado, Tiki Venglar (Clifford Hubanek) of Victoria, Texas, and M’Liss Miller(Stephen) of Rock Island, Tennessee. 15 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. There will be a graveside memorial service held on October 18,2025 at 10 am in Three Rivers Cemetery with arrangements being made by Robersons Funeral Home of Three Rivers.
