Hadley, Lloyd Earl – Hadleyville, age 86. It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to a man whom we loved so much, Lloyd Earl Hadley. Lloyd worked many jobs in his lifetime. Picking apples in Annapolis Valley, working on the freight boats and fish processing plant at Mulgrave wharf and custodian at Sand Point Marine Base. He received his marine craft operator certification, but lobster fishing was his life long career. Lloyd was happiest surrounded by his girls and his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Early mornings in his boat on the Chebucto Bay and spending time with his wife brought him contentment. He kept with tradition, spending winter months making his own lobster traps and knitting his own nets. He enjoyed putting in a garden, making hay, cutting pulpwood and raising lambs and cattle. He took pride in providing for his family, but remained humble. He believed in an honest, hard day’s work and was known for his quiet nature and fun sense of humor. Lloyds love for the Lord was reflected in his gentle care and love for his wife Rowena, of 60 years, mother, Ida, father, Oscar, brothers, Wayne and Gordon, many nieces and nephews, cousins and his five daughters. He will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Rowena, daughters, Madonna Vickery (Randy), Caroline McDonald (Mike), Heather King (Rob), Constance Hadley-Halloran, Tammy Driedger (Benny); grandchildren, Gerald Vickery (Melissa), Bradley Vickery, Laura Stevens, Maria Stevens, Ashley Fraser (Craig), Erica Hawco (Neil), Celine Martel, Julaea Halloran (Jordan), Joel Halloran (Ronee), Marlayna Halloran, Gavin Driedger; great-grandchildren, Maverick, Sawyer, Austin, Paisley, Jaxon, Thomas, Harrison, Lloyd, Felix, Rowena and brothers, Wayne Hadley and Gordon Hadley (Hazel). Besides his parents, Lloyd was predeceased by baby brother Lloyd Lewis and granddaughters, Tanya Marie and Alaynah-Dawn.
