NYCE LLOYD PRICE Born January 14, 1940, son of the late A. Lincoln Godshall Nyce and Anna Alderfer Price Nyce, loving husband of Georgianna Egresites Nyce, father of Lori Ann Nyce and Douglas Lloyd Nyce, father-in-law of Rosalind Margaret James Nyce, and beloved grandfather of Hannah Maisie, Katie Rose and Liam James Nyce, passed into eternal rest on November 7, 2021. He grew up in his beloved Vernfield, Pennsylvania, on Indian Creek where Nyces and Prices have lived since 1720 and where his Unami ancestors had lived for thousands of years. He attended Souderton HS, Elizabethtown College, and Bethany Theological Seminary in Chicago. He began his career as a social worker and went on to serve in the top civil service position in the Hearing and Appeals Section of the PA Department of Public Welfare. He finished his career with distinguished service as a Workers' Compensation Judge in Malvern with the PA Department of Labor and Industry. He was an honorary member of the Philadelphia and Montgomery County Bar Associations. An avid sportsman, beginning with tennis in his parents' backyard grass court, he continued to play tennis twice a week until he was 79. Devoted to his family and the church, Lloyd served in many ministries including doing regular prison visitations and taking Vietnamese and Polish refugees into his home. He was baptized in Indian Creek at the Indian Creek Church of the Brethren (CoB) and attended both Harrisburg First CoB and in later years Pine Street Presbyterian, where he combined his love of the church and of music. He took his family to many concerts and supported his children's and grandchildren's education, never missing one of their concerts. He was devoted to serving others. Lloyd was much loved and will be missed terribly by his friends and family. A service of celebration of his life will be held at NEILL FUNERAL HOME, Paxtang, on Friday, November 19th, with visitation at 10 A.M. and the service at 11 A.M., followed by interment at Hummelstown Community Cem.
