JACQUELINE FARR
On Sunday, June 21, 2015, beloved wife of Jon Carroll Lloyd, MD for 54 years; mother of Hilary Lloyd-Prosser (Steve) and Hardy Carroll Lloyd; grandmother of Theodore "Tad" Prosser; sister of Gordon Farr (Anne) of St. George, Utah and the late Aaron Farr; also survived by two sisters-in-law, Lynette Brooks of Pittsburgh and Bonnie Lloyd of Salt Lake City; many nieces and nephews and her adopted family, the Truongs, refugees from Vietnam, whom Jackie assisted in establishing a life in the United States. Jackie was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and attended the University of Utah. When she and Jon married, Jackie worked to support their family while Jon attended medical school. A friend and neighbor, Urmi Asher, MD, said that "Jackie had an authentic human need to connect with others." She touched many lives. After moving to Pittsburgh in 1968, Jackie worked as a volunteer in a Catholic orphanage in Saigon, Vietnam while her husband, Jon served in the US Army as a surgeon. Upon their return to Pittsburgh, Jackie continued her volunteer work with the Women's Organization of the LDS Church and as a board member of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony, Pace School, Linden Garden Club and the Twentieth Century Club. She participated in the founding of Gilda's Club in Pittsburgh (now Our Clubhouse) and served on its founding board. "In this give and receive world," says her husband, Jon "Jackie was a natural giver who always gave unconditionally and inconspicuously." The family would like to especially thank Cherrie Corbett for the gentle, kind and loving care she provided for Jackie over the past two years. They also gratefully acknowledge the impeccable care Jackie received by the staff of Family Hospice and Palliative Care. Friends will be received at JOHN A. FREYVOGEL SONS, INC., 4900 Centre Avenue at Devonshire Street (freyvogelfuneralhome.com) on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2015, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 250 N. Dithridge Street, (Oakland) PGH., PA 15213 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Our Clubhouse, 2816 Smallman St., PGH., PA 15222 or Pace School, 2432 Greensburg Pike, PGH., PA 15221.
