Passed peacefully away on Monday, February 14, 2022, in Lions Manor Placentia with his family present, Willis Leo Boyd of Harcourt age 80 years. Predeceased by his parents Lewis and Pearl Boyd, sister Florrie and brothers Doug, Llewellyn and Larry. Leaving to mourn is his wife Elaine of 53 years; children Darrell (Julie) of French River, Ontario, Wanda (Greg Pike), Karen (Jolliffe Feltham), Cindy-Jo (Brian Ellis) and Trevor (Sandra); grandchildren: Angela, Taylor, Lee, Amy, Aaron, and Josie; great grandchild Hudson; sisters Beulah (Lloyd Tavenor), Cassie Brogdon, Eva Pelley and brothers Calvin (June) and Gerald (Nancy); brothers-in-law Johnny Stevenson, Hubert Hibbs (Marie), Malcolm Hibbs (Judy) and Clarence Hibbs (Geraldine); sisters-in-law Dorothy Davis, Virginia Boyd, Mary Boyd and Kathy Hibbs; he also leaves behind a large number of extended family and friends.
Willis was born in Summerford and moved to Cambridge, Ontario where he met his wife Elaine. Here they started a family. He worked as a Precision Machinist by trade and decided to make the move back home to Harcourt where opened his own garage. He enjoyed working as a mechanic for many years. He loved the antique cars and it is no harm in saying that everyone knew Willis Boyd. Willis battled dementia over the last few years but through it all his humor still showed. This was shared with us from the staff at Lions Manor. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Lions Manor for their care and compassion during his stay which gave us comfort in knowing he was cared for when we weren’t present.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will take place at Fewer’s Funeral Home on Friday February 25, 2022 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9. In keeping with covid restrictions vaxx pass and masks will be required for both visitation and service. If you wish to attend a visitation time, please Text Wanda at 429-0945 for an appointment time or email: wandapike2000@yahoo.ca (cannot accept phone calls at this time).
