Obituary for Elsie Theresa Lloyd
?There's a church in the valley by the wildwood no lovelier place in the dale. No spot is so dear to my childhood as the little brown church in the vale.? Our tough little mamma passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones, and we're pretty sure you'll find her in that little church in the vale. She'll be eating Rappie Pie morning, noon and night with the occasional bowl of fruit loops, lays potato chips, Diet Coke, candies full of sugar, and NO pretzels (insert laughter here) We know she'll be giving her opinion and a gesture or two no doubt, but she'll be there.

Predeceased by everyone who passed before her (insert laughter here) including her loving husband of 57 years, Matthew Lloyd (2013).

Loving mother to Brian (Krista) Lloyd, Theresa (Howard) Wakem, Trish Bearss (Alan Giddings), and Jennifer (David) Switzer. Nana to Loreena (Mitch) MacKay, Ashley, Zack, Matthew, Shyanna (Chris), Adam (Ashley), Amber (Kody), Vandie (Eric), Curtis (Nicole), Amy, Shaun, Jessica (Devon) and Sam. Great Grandma to 14 very cute grand babies.

She is survived by a sister, Louise Deveau and a brother Emile Doucet, sister in laws Irene (Harold) Whitelaw and Joan (Raymond) Plummer and several nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.

Throughout her years of struggling with health issues she managed to maintain her sense of humour, famous gestures and continued guidance using her selective vocabulary (insert laughter here) once in awhile. We find comfort in knowing she is in a better place surrounded by loved ones.

Her Faith and absolute adoration for her family were her guiding force. Her family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her 15th great grandchild, and for this reason we have decided to hold her celebration of life on December 27th from 1 to 4 p.m. at Kingsway Lodge, so her precious, newest great granddaughter and her family can join us. We hope you are able to join us as we honour this amazing woman.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Children's Health Foundation, London Ontario, so they can continue to make miracles happen.
