The family of Lloyd Morrell announce with sorrow his peaceful passing, Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at Manitoulin Health Centre at the age of 80. A current resident of Honora Bay, Manitoulin Island, he enjoyed a simple life sharing his days with his wife Evelyn. He enjoyed being outside, and kept busy with his gardens in the summer, feeding the birds, preparing wood for winter, and working with brother-in-law Bobby at various chores. Lloyd liked people, and always had time for visits, phone calls, and good chats. A few minutes spent with him would always include laughter as his sense of humour brought joy to the day, even through his final days on earth. Lloyd was predeceased by his parents Leatha and Lawrence Morrell, wife Betty (Brandow), brothers Arnold, Norris and Edward, and sister Ruth. He will be sadly missed by his wife/partner Evelyn Baily, his siblings Ellen Bell and Evan and Gertrude Morrell.
