Barbara Bond Lloyd
Barbara Bond Lloyd, 71, of Lynchburg, died Thursday, January 7, 2010.
Barbara was born on February 11, 1938. She was a faithful servant to her Lord Jesus Christ and on January 7, 2010 her Savior opened His arms to welcome her to her Heavenly home.
Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Harvey Bond and Nina Bond Barnes. She also is preceded in death by her three brothers Kenneth, Ronald, and Howard \"Boolie\" Bond.
She leaves behind to cherish the memories of fifty-four wonderful years of marriage, the Rev. Lenn E. Lloyd. Barbara was very proud of being the "Pastor's Wife" and served side by side with her husband in their ministry.
Barbara is survived by her three children Gary Lloyd and his wife Donna, Vicki Graham and her husband Scott, and Rev. Heath Lloyd and his wife Rachael.
Barbara\"™s grandchildren brought her great pleasure, those who will always have such fond memories of their time with \"Grandma\" include: Katie Mehler and her husband Chris of Lynchburg, Jeff Graham and his fiancée Lauren Hagar of Bedford, Vincent Graham of Lynchburg, Jonathan and Zachary Lloyd of Reidsville, NC, and Hannah, Lucas, and Clair Lloyd and Amanda and Lily McDonald all of Lynchburg. The most recent addition to Barbara's family is her great-granddaughter, Lily Mehler.
Barbara is survived by her sister-in-law, Alice Bond and her nephews Kenneth Bond, James Bond, and Jeffrey Bond. She is also survived by her former daughter-in-law Mari-jo Lloyd and by numerous family members in the extended Lloyd family.
Barbara graduated from E. C. Glass High School and studied business administration at Lynchburg College where she received many academic honors. Barbara was a very successful business woman, yet she found her service in her church the most rewarding. She was a charter member of Leawood Baptist Church and over the years filled numerous roles including Sunday School teacher, Bible School teacher and Bible School director to mention just a few. She also enjoyed being a member of the church choir for many years. Barbara realized the importance of missions and over the years graciously spent many hours working with the Women\"™s Missionary Union, Girls in Action, and Acteens. Barbara loved working with children and continued to work in the church nursery until recent months. Even as Barbara\"™s health failed her, she looked forward to attending church each Sunday. She was blessed to have \"the watchful eye\" of her church family as they lovingly assisted her at church services and functions. Barbara will be most remembered for her sweet and gentle spirit; she loved everyone and exemplified the Christian life for all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Nearly twenty \""five years ago, Barbara was instrumental in establishing a group of business women who met regularly to share ideas to improve business practices. From that organization, a small group of ladies branched off to form their own sisterhood for which they referred to themselves as the \"Magnolias\". The family would like to thank Judy Berryman, Becky Coates, Norma Tuggle, Joyce Tyree and especially Gail Gray for being such faithful friends to Barbara during the many of years of her illness.
The family would like to express great appreciation to Barbara's caretaker, Dianna Fortune and her family who all loved "Miss Barbara" and took excellent care of her.
Barbara was blessed to receive exceptional medical care over the years, the family would like to thank Dr. Robert Lockridge and his nurse Esther James and to Dr. Miles Wallace for the many years of medical care that they provided for Barbara during her long battle with Parkinson\"™s disease.
A celebration of Barbara's life will be held on Monday, January 11, 2010 at 1:00 PM at Tharp Funeral Home, with Rev. Marvin Suitt and Rev. H.B. Enochs officiating.
