Willard Lloyd was born in Philomont, Virginia, on October 11, 1922, to

the late Louvenia Moore Lloyd and Asbury Lloyd Sr. He was the oldest of ten

children. On Monday, March 02, 2026, he departed this life at Valley Health in

Winchester, Virginia. Willard attended Banneker School in St. Louis, Virginia.

He worked as the caretaker on the Anne Mcleod farm in Upperville, Virginia,

for many decades. He loved farming work. He also worked at the Foxcroft School

in Middleburg, Virginia. He was a dedicated and hardworking individual who

always put the needs of others ahead of his own. During this time, he married

his first wife, Raybelle French. They were married for approximately 16 years

until her death and raised many foster children.

Throughout his lifetime, Willard lived in Upperville, Berryville, Willisville

(for approximately 43 years!), then moved to Winchester, Virginia to live with

his nephew, Larry Lloyd. He was affectionately known as "Uncle Cooley". Some

of his passions were for cutting wood, mowing the lawn and riding the mower

through the neighborhood so he could stop to talk with the neighbors. One

of his favorite sayings was that he "grew up between a rock and a hard place".

When his health issues became more of a challenge, he relocated to Winchester

Health and Rehabilitation. He spent the last four years of his life there, enjoying

regular visits from family and friends and receiving care from his devoted

nephews, Larry Lloyd and William Lloyd.

Willard was preceded in death by his first wife, Raybelle, their infant

daughter; second wife, Ethel Berryman (married for approximately 4 years);

longtime companion, Hallie Gray; two sisters, Ida Mae Lloyd and Alvernia

Tracy; four brothers, Bruce Lloyd, Melvin Lloyd, Theodore Lloyd and Randolph

Lloyd. He leaves to cherish his memory, one brother, Asbury Lloyd Jr. of

Leesburg, Virginia; two sisters, Gloria Corum and Rose Lee Lloyd of Culpeper,

Virginia; a sister-in-law, Alice Lloyd of Marshall, Virginia; a host of nieces and

nephews, other family members and friends.

His kindness and warmth touched everyone who had the privilege of

knowing him. He was a beautiful soul, deeply loved and will be deeply missed.

Even though he is no longer with us, his kindness, love and beautiful memories

will forever remain in our hearts. He may be gone but will never be forgotten.

May his spirit rest in eternal peace.
