It is with heavy hearts that the family of Lloyd Adams
announce his peaceful passing on Sunday December 16 2012 at his home in Red Deer, Alberta.
Lloyd was the eldest of 15 children born to Amos and Nellie (Ellis) Adams of
O’Leary PEI on November 2, 1931. Lloyd celebrated his 19th birthday
on the train that took him to Alberta
in 1940. After spending a short time working on the rigs, he worked for
Bettenson’s, following which he began his employment with McGavin’s Bakery,
retiring in 1987. Lloyd had a wonderful sense of humour and enjoyed sharing
stories with his many customers and friends around Central
Alberta. His laugh will be missed by all who knew him. Lloyd and
Isabell enjoyed travels in their RV for many years, spending a few warm winters
in Arizona.
He was proud to be a Life Member of the Elks Club and still enjoyed bowling
until his passing. Lloyd was predeceased by his wife Isabell (Wells), his
parents Amos and Nellie Adams, three nephews, David Tennant, Darrell Adams and
Stephen Adams. He is survived by his eleven sisters Florence, Elga (Lawrence),
Isabel (Eddie) and Carolyn of PEI, Valerie, Judy (Rick) and Sharon (Geza) of
Ontario, Dorothy, Kamloops and Wendy (Terry) Surrey BC, Nancy (Milt) St. Albert
and Cheryl Red Deer, and three brothers Sterling (Phyllis) Lacombe County,
Donnie (Sharon) and Ellis of Red Deer, as well as members of Isabell’s family,
numerous nieces and nephews and friends. In keeping with Lloyd’s wishes there
will be no funeral service. A Memorial Tea will be held at the Royal Canadian
Legion Branch #35 on Friday, December 21, 2012 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. In lieu of
flowers donations may be made in Lloyd’s memory to the Red Deer Regional
