Myrtle Lloyd Obituary

Mrs. Myrtle Norris Lloyd, 97 of Lake City passed away on Monday, December 16, 2013. She was born in Jasper, FL on June 9, 1916 to the late Willie B. and Arthur M. Norris. The Florida Southern Baptist newspaper was quoted as saying that at ninety she was the oldest active Sunday school teacher in the state. Seven years later she was still teaching "Growing in Christ Likeness" at Southside Baptist Church, Lake City, FL. Without a doubt she was spiritually blessed and loved the Lord divinely. Southside Baptist Church was such a blessing to her. She had beautiful memories of each class. She was also counselor, tutor and teacher to fifty college students who roomed with her over thirty years. Lake City and Columbia County were so kind to her and allowed her to make her life here. She would like to say thanks. Mrs. Lloyd was preceded in death by three sisters, Rita (John) Phillips, Claudette (Howard) Davis and Maxine (Tom) Harkness; two brothers, W. Burke (Edith) Norris and Albert E. (Mary) Norris and sister in law, Evelyn Norris.
Survivors include her son, R. Paul (Edna) Lloyd of Lake City, FL; two granddaughters, Saleeta (Doyle) Cook of Naples, FL and Ashley (Kurt) Murrell of Castle Rock, CO; two brothers, Bill Norris and Jack R. Black both of Jasper, FL. She also has a dear niece and nephew, Geri and Larry Huddleston of Jasper, FL. There are many more nieces and nephews, great nieces and a great-great niece that also survive.
Funeral services will be conducted on Friday, December 20, 2013 at 11:00 AM at Southside Baptist Church with Rev. Ralph Rodriguez officiating. Interment will follow at 1:00 PM at the Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery in Jasper, FL. Visitation with the family will be Thursday evening from 6-8:00 PM at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Southside Baptist Church, Lake City, FL. Arrangements are under the direction of GUERRY FUNERAL HOME, Lake City.
