McFARLANE, Rev. LLOYD - Rev. Lloyd G. McFarlane, 95, of Sussex, N.B., passed away peacefully on Monday, August 15, 2011 at the Sussex Hospital. Lloyd was born in Sussex Corner in 1915, son of Leonard McFarlane and Lydia Kilpatrick. He was commissioned in the Church Army of Canada in 1937 and became an ordained Anglican minister in 1949, after graduating from Wycliffe College, University of Toronto. The same year he married Helen Elisabeth Curwood of Toronto and they moved to Lloyd’s first parish of Kinmount, Ontario. For the next 59 years, Helen and Lloyd had a loving partnership in raising a family and supporting their church and communities. Over the years, he served as Rector in Mono Mills, Ont., Fort Frances, Ont., and Campbellton, N.B. They retired in 1982 to Havelock, N.B., where they were active members of the Butternut Ridge Seniors’ Club. In 2005 they moved to the Anglican Church Homes in Sussex. Throughout his long career, Lloyd ministered with faith and compassion to the needs of others and he will be missed by many. Lloyd was predeceased by Helen in 2008, brother Donald S. McFarlane and sister Louise Alward. He is survived by children Paul (Sally) of Chicago, Gillian McNaught (Peter) of Wallbridge, Ont, and Judith Watling (Kerry) of Ottawa; grandsons, D.J., Ryan, Jeremy and David; great grandson Dillon, and nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Elsie Gray, Archdeacon David Barrett, the women of the Sussex Red Cross, especially Faye Freeze, Cindy Constantine and Ann Munroe, and to Joanne Gregg, all of whom provided Lloyd with tremendous support and friendship.
