Ron Lloyd

1936 - 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Ron Lloyd announce the passing of their dad and grandpa, Ron Lloyd. He was a fighter until the very end, losing his battle to cancer and a stroke on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at the age of 85 years.

Relatives and friends were invited to meet with the family at Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber on Sunday, January 30, 2022 between 3:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. 

The funeral service was held at Southland Funeral Chapel, 5006 - 48 Avenue, Taber on Monday, January 31, 2022 at 10:30 A.M. Burial followed at the Taber Memorial Garden. 

Relatives and friends were invited to meet with the family at the Royal Canadian Legion (lower lounge), 5205 – 48 Avenue, Taber on Monday, January 31, 2022 between 3:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. to share in a toast to Ron’s life.

Ron was born in Magrath on June 22, 1936, the oldest of three children born to Maurice and Ethel Lloyd. He spent most of his life in Taber. Ron was predeceased by his lovely wife and best friend of forty eight years, Lorna Lloyd (née Turnbull). Together they raised three children Ron Lloyd (Louise), Teri Hansen (Darwyn) and Sharla Capner. Ron worked many years for the Taber Irrigation District, retiring in 2001. He enjoyed curling, camping, happy hour, golfing and spending time in Arizona or Indian Hills depending on the season. Through these activities he met and made many wonderful friends.

His lasting legacy will be his beautiful family. Ron’s most treasured role was as grandpa. He leaves behind seven very loved grandchildren, Blair (Carlee) and Brad Hansen; Ronnie and Andrew Lloyd; Jared (Tanessa), Brooke and Taylor Capner (Cam Derry). He was especially blessed with five great grandchildren, Nixon and Emma Hansen and Holden, Macrae and Payce Capner.

Ron was exceptionally fortunate to spend his last years with Louise McCloy whose friendship and love was deeply cherished. During the pandemic, Ron looked forward to Tuesday night card night and Louise's daughter Joanne was instrumental in making this happen, for which we are very grateful.

Ron was also predeceased by his parents Maurice and Ethel Lloyd, sister Joan Gross, brother Richard Lloyd, Lorna's parents Jim and Dora Turnbull and brother-in-law, Donald Turnbull.

Ron will be greatly missed by all that were so privileged to know him as he was loved by all.

If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Ron’s name may be made directly to the purchase of a bench that will be placed at the Indian Hill Golf Course at one of the holes he scored a ‘hole in one’ at. Please make your donation by e-transfer to or by mail in care of Teri Hansen, Box 51, Purple Springs, Alberta T0K 1X0.

Ron’s family would like to thank his treasured and loved friends Fred, Jodie and Kaden, for loving him as family. A special thanks to Cheryl Zdan, Dr. Steed, Dr. Torrie and the nursing Staff at the Taber Health Care Centre.
