Bobby Lloyd Obituary
February 24, 1939 - July 7, 2025
Raleigh, North Carolina - Bobby Gene Lloyd, of Raleigh, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on July 7, 2025. He was born on February 24, 1939, to the late D.M. and Estelle Lloyd in Fowler's Crossroads, Wake County, North Carolina.
Bobby graduated from Rolesville High School in 1956, and married the love of his life, Carole Martin from Eagle Rock, on September 6, 1958.
He honorably served in the Army and, after a 32-year career in state government, retired from the North Carolina Department of Correction where he ran the print shop at Central Prison and was a purchasing agent.
Starting out with one printing press in a small room in his garage, Bobby started what would become Wendell Printing and Typesetting Company. Although this began as a part-time hobby, it would become his second full-time job as he continued to run Wendell Printing for almost a decade after his retirement from state government.
Bobby had a passion for golf and loved baseball. He loved his dogs. But nothing brought joy to his eyes and put a smile on his face like his grandchildren. He loved being Grandaddy.
Bobby is survived by his cherished wife of over 66 years, Carole; sons: Martin (Belinda), Sean (Amanda); grandchildren: Derek (Lydia), Shelby, Claire; and great-granddaughter, Vera.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, July 12, 2025, at L. Harold Poole Funeral Service Chapel, 944 Old Knight Road, Knightdale, NC 27545. Private entombment will follow at the mausoleum at Gethsemane Memorial Gardens, Zebulon.
The family will receive relatives and friends prior to the service from 12:00 to 12:45 pm at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Transitions LifeCare in Bobby's memory.
