Edwin Gordon Lloyd
1935-2022
It is with broken hearts and deep sorrow that
the family of Edwin Gordon Lloyd announce his passing on Saturday,
January 29, 2022 at Dykeland Lodge in Windsor, NS. Edwin was born on
December 4, 1935 on the Prospect Mountain in Cambridge, NS to Thomas
and Kathleen (Fredericks) Lloyd. While growing up in Prospect and
during the time that he lived in Waterville, Cambridge and New Minas
his family and friends knew him affectionately by his nickname,
“Bun or Bunny”.
As someone who experienced life as a child
during the Great Depression, Edwin was eager to leave school at an
early age to join the workforce and start earning a living. He worked
on various farms, on the railroad, at M.W. Graves Company and Roscoe
Construction Limited. He loved to work and keep busy and the
harder the work was the more he enjoyed it. He was always on the go
and enjoyed being outside most of all; going for long walks and bike
rides, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting and most especially gardening.
If there was ever a person with a green thumb, it was Edwin. He always
grew a large bountiful vegetable garden and beautiful flower
gardens.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased
by his wife of 52 years, Eleanor (Corkum) Lloyd; son, Lindsay Lloyd
and sister, Madelyn Dominic. He is survived by his sons,
Victor Lloyd and Ron (Tammi) Lloyd; sisters, Elaine Theriault and
Barbara Parks; grandsons, Shane Morse and Jonathan Morse and their
mother Janice Morse; granddaughter, Cassandra Lloyd; extended family,
David (Susan) Corkum and very dear friend and companion, Doreen
Corkum.
The family would like to sincerely thank Dr.
Patricia MacDonald, VON and the doctors, nurses and staff at the
Valley Regional Hospital and Dykeland Lodge for their exceptional care
and compassion.
Cremation has taken place. The funeral service
will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 24, 2022 in Cambridge
Baptist Church, Cambridge, Kings County. Interment will take place in
Cambridge Cemetery. Donations in memory may be made to the Lung
Association of Nova Scotia or Valley Search and Rescue.
