BOWERS

BOWERS - It is with great sadness that we, the family of Lloyd George Bowers Jr., announce his passing at the age of 83. He bravely struggled with many health issues until his passing at home on January 2, 2025. Despite many hospital stays in the past year, his family remained constantly by his side. When at home, he was lovingly cared for by his wife, Rona and supported by his daughters, Sandra and Jennifer.

Lloyd was born in Waterloo, on Valentine’s Day February 14, 1941 to parents Lloyd George Sr. and Sarah “Sadie” Bowers. He was their third child. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 56 years Rona (Wentzell); daughters Sandra and Jennifer (Matthew) Naugler; grandchildren Tyler (Jessica), Leeanne (Jonah), Ethan and Simon. He is survived by his sister, Alice Langille, as well as many nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers Wildon “Buddy” Bowers, Herbert “Herbie” Bowers and sister, Frances Conrad.

Our family would like to thank Dr. Pugh and his office staff for their understanding and attention during our visits and calls to the office. Our sincerest thanks to Dr. Salomon and Dr. Chaisson for their care, advice and compassion during Lloyd’s many hospital stays. As well, thanks to the Lunenburg County VON and Lunenburg County Home Support for their care visits. Our deepest gratitude to the Paramedic Team for their exceptional emergency response care.

A special thanks as well to Betty Wentzell, sister-in-law, for her visits to the house for Lloyd’s haircuts. To the family, friends, and coworkers who have visited, messaged, called, sent us food and given donations, your care and compassion during this difficult time has been comforting and your thoughtfulness is so very much appreciated.

There will be no service by Lloyd’s request. A family interment will take place at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to the Hillside Cemetery, Branch LaHave or to SHAID Tree Animal Shelter in support of Lloyd’s love of animals.
