Lloyd, Gladys Ruth, 87 - Truro, passed away on Sunday, November 15, 2009 at Cedarstone Enhanced Care, Truro. Born September 1, 1922, she was the daughter of the late John and Alice (Elliott) Lloyd. Gladys lived most of her life in Bible Hill. She worked many years at Roby’s Studio, Truro before taking a teaching position at the Nova Scotia Youth Training Center in Bible Hill.

Gladys was always busy crocheting lap robes for churches, hospitals and nursing homes, which she loved giving away, all for free. Many people gave bags of yarn to Gladys who also purchased yarn herself and received yarn as gifts. She was a warm soft spoken lady, and great writer with pen pals all over the world, all of whom were also born on September 1, 1922. Many still were writing to her when she passed.
