Lloyd George
Ward
January 17,1934 ~ September
27, 2024
Lloyd George Ward, 90 of Ross Creek passed away at his
home surrounded by his family after a 10-month journey of complicated
health issues.
Lloyd
was born on January 17, 1934 in Glenmont, NS to Clarence
«Ted» and Susan «Susie» (Hines)
Ward. Lloyd grew up on the Canning mountain and began his independence
at 9 years old working on farms in the community and later in the
woods until joining the Royal Canadian Army Service Corp in 1953. In
1955 he traveled abroad to serve in the First Division Lahr, Germany.
Lloyd also spent portions of his army career in Ontario, Debert,
Halifax, Gagetown and Aldershot. Returning in 1957 Lloyd married the
love of his life, Wilma Mary Illsley on October 19th, 1957. Together
they raised three daughters Debbie, Wendy and Mary
Lou.
The
early years of his life were devoted to learning trades and a solid
work ethic. Taking the knowledge he had gathered from his childhood
and army careers Lloyd purchased his own farm in 1960. Lloyd had an
abounding love for the land and traveled the mountain to acquire more
acreage to feed his herd of Hereford cattle and grow potatoes for
Hostess Foods. In 1967, Lloyd began driving the bus for W.C. Rooney
Transport. Over the years Lloyd shared the bounty of his labors with
friends and neighbors alike. Always eager to bring beets, pickles,
pies, or his famous biscuits to those who rewarded him with their
thankful smiles. Lloyd devoted his life to helping those in need,
doing whatever was asked of him and asking for nothing in return. The
smile was payment enough for the kind deeds he gifted
others.
In 2000
Lloyd sold his life’s work and began to enjoy retirement.
Spending time with grandchildren and family became a journey that took
him all the way to from the east coast to Montana,
USA.
Lloyd
lived a quiet stoic life instilling a work ethic in his girls that
will go on for generations to come; being true to your word and any
job worth doing is worth doing well. A tenacity that knows no
boundaries, as the last 10 months have been nothing short of
tenacious. The stories and the memories he shared with his family over
the past few months shed light and lent a hand in seeing the life of
the boy, the man, and the hero that we know to be our DAD. They say
the greatest gift a DAD can give his children is to love their mother
and he LOVED Wilma with his whole heart and soul. She was the sun in
his morning and stars in his night and together they enjoyed their
simple moments together.
Lloyd
will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved
him.
Lloyd is
survived by his wife of 66 years Wilma; daughters, Debbie (Lionel)
Borden, Lower Onslow NS; Wendy (Pat) Coolen, Ross Corner NS; and Mary
Lou (Mark) Urquhart, North Dakota; seven grandchildren: Gerry
(Melissa) Coolen, Chris Borden, Tara (Rob Phillips) Borden, Mike
