Here For You And Your Family

Lloyd McCleary “Mac” Emge OWENSVILLE — Lloyd McCleary “Mac” Emge, 70, of Owensville, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018. Mac was born Aug. 24, 1948, in Evansville to Lloyd O. Emge and Joyce (McCleary) Emge Horn. Mac was a 1966 graduate of Fort Branch Community High School where he lettered in basketball, baseball and football. He attended Kentucky Wesleyan College before enlisting in the Army where he was assigned to veterinary service at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma and Ft. Sam, Houston, Texas. In 1970, Mac was honorably discharged from the Army. Upon his return to Indiana, Mac began his long career of training and racing standardbred horses. True to his nature, whether alone, or with friends, Mac’s church was “the Great Outdoors.” This is where he felt closest to God. As an avid sportsman, Mac loved hunting, fishing and training bird dogs. He was a long-time member of many wildlife and hunting organizations. Mac spent most weekends competing in field trials with his beloved pointers, setters, and short hairs. He was an experienced marksman and through the years received multiple awards. Mac is survived by his devoted wife of 48 years, Jenny (Pegram); three daughters, Melissa (Mike) Beverly of Newburgh; Jolynn (Steve) Maloney, Henderson; and Sarah

Ravellette, Evansville. Mac had a keen sense of humor and was always pulling pranks on his seven grandchildren. Lovingly referred to as “Popper,” by Isaac, Kellen, and Isabella Beverly; Alex and Chase Maloney; and Nola and Samuel McCleary Ravellette. Two sisters: Ann (Emge) Northern of Louisville; Jill (Emge) Harris of San Rafael, California; one brother, Peter Emge of Evansville; many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends that are far too numerous to list, but were very special to Mac. All family and friends are welcome to celebrate the life of Lloyd McCleary “Mac” Emge at Pierre Funeral Home 2601 West Franklin Street, Evansville, Tuesday, October 30, 2018, from 4 to 8 p.m. Private burial service for immediate family at Mauck Cemetery will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Shriner’s Hospital for Children-St. Louis. Condolences may be made online at www.pierrefuneralhome.com.
