Dorothy Lloyd
(nee Morrison)
December 24, 1930-February 26, 2026
We are heartbroken to share that Dorothy Lloyd (nee Morrison) passed away peacefully on February 26, 2026, at the Country Haven in Almonte at the age of 96, surrounded by family.
Dorothy was born on December 24, 1930, to her parents Harvey and Cora Morrison and grew up on the family farm in Clayton, Ontario. She was preceded in death by her siblings Alvaretta Ferro, Effie Munro, Cora (Maud) Marshall, Jenny Stearns, Viola Splane, and James Morrison.
Dorothy married James (Jim) Lloyd (who passed away earlier) in 1950 and started their family in Carleton Place, Ontario before moving to their farm in Cedar Hill in 1967. She is survived by her five children; Carol (Steve) Osbaldeston, Janet (John) Salopek, Patricia (Colin) Neilson, Cora (Art, predeceased) Merchand and Rosser (Stacie) Lloyd. Her ten grandchildren will remember her fondly; Morgan Osbaldeston, Amanda Charron, Vanessa Salopek (Dave Monaghan), Jonathan (Tori) Merchand, Kelly Merchand, Hunter Neilson, Tanner (Alivia) Neilson, Robyn Lloyd (Brendan Cote), Austin Lloyd (Kaitlyn Curtis), and Avery Lloyd. She also leaves behind five great-grandchildren: Grace Merchand, Scarlett Merchand, Jackson Merchand, Jack Charron and Minnie Charron.
Dorothy had a deep love for her family as well as caring for farm animals and gardens. She enjoyed watching birds and rabbits while taking drives down the backroads of Lanark County. A good competitive game of shuffleboard was always a highlight for her.
Until recently she stayed active and engaged with life and cherished visits from family near and far. Outings back to the family farm in Cedar Hill or trips to the garden center run by Jonathan and Tori brought her joy. People will remember her as a strong woman who believed that everything would be alright if you “got up, got dressed and faced the day with a positive attitude”. Rest in peace Mom/Granny!
A heartfelt thanks goes out to all the staff at Country Haven in Almonte for their support throughout Mom’s time there.
Family and friends can visit Barker Funeral Home at 19 Mc Arthur Avenue in Carleton Place on Wednesday March 25 from 1pm until the service begins at 2 pm in the Chapel.
