Parnell “Lloyd” Alyea
January 11, 1934 - October 23, 2024
In peaceful rest, Parnell “Lloyd” Alyea was called home to the Lord on October 23, 2024, at the age of 90. Lloyd is lovingly remembered by his wife Phyllis (nee Shipp), his cherished partner for 68 years. He was a devoted father to Brad Alyea, Nancy (Rob) Routenburg, Kathy (Dave) Richardson, Phil (Lorraine) Alyea, and Barry (Kellie) Alyea. Lloyd took immense pride in his family, as a grandfather to Dan (Meaghan) Alyea, Greg (Tanya) Routenburg, Matthew (Sam) Richardson, Todd (Jessica) Routenburg, Amanda Richardson, Kelly (Derek) Mudford, Taylor (Jason) Shivley, Kirsten Alyea, Jessica Alyea, Courtney (Sean) Richardson, and Tyson Alyea, along with 19 great-grandchildren.
Lloyd is also survived by his brother, Gerald (Jeanette) Alyea. He was predeceased by his parents, Parnell and Helen Alyea, and his daughters-in-law Janet (Huggins) Alyea and Anne (Durkin) Alyea. Lloyd dedicated 70 years of his life to farming in Oxford County and counted his faith, family, and friendships among his greatest achievements. The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to the staff at People Care, Tavistock, for their compassionate support during Lloyd's final years.
Cremation has taken place, and a private family service will be held on Thursday, October 31, 2024, with interment at Oxford Pioneer Cemetery. In memory of Lloyd, donations may be made to Woodstock General Hospital or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Lloyd’s parting message included the following scriptures:
“This I recall to mind, therefore I have confidence. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions never fail. They are renewed every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore will I have confidence in Him. … For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Lloyd’s hope was that all who believe in Jesus Christ will one day reunite in Heaven.
