Mary Wyatt Lloyd, 96, passed away on December 6, 2023. Daughter of the late Rosser Samuel Wyatt and Annie Laurie Kandle Wyatt, she was born “down the country” in Middlesex County, Virginia, in 1927, graduating from Saluda High School in 1946. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, John Carter Lloyd; her daughter, Rebecca Wyatt Lloyd; her beloved brothers and sisters, Clifton Wyatt, Gladys Wyatt LeCompte, Addie Wyatt Simmons, Theadis Wyatt Tinsley, Margarette Wyatt Howell, Robert Henry Wyatt, John Wyatt, Wilbur “Teenie” Wyatt and Walter Wyatt; as well as a number of her nieces and nephews, including recently Barbara LeCompte Nelson. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Lloyd Caddell (Bobby), of Durham, N.C.; and her daughter-in-law, Barbara Trevvett Lloyd, of Glen Allen, Va. “Aunt Mary” leaves behind nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews who meant so much to her; long-time neighbors in Glen Allen, where she lived for nearly six decades; life-long friends and classmates; and new friends, associates, and caregivers at Vitality Living West End Richmond, where she lived for nine years. Mary traveled to many U.S. states, and to Argentina, China, Russia, Israel, Egypt, South Africa, England, France, and Germany, among others, but was always happy to come home to see “Old Glory” flying, considering the U.S. the “most beautiful country in the world” and Virginia the “most beautiful state in our country.” Following memberships at Greenwood United Methodist Church and Staples Mill Road Baptist Church, Mary was an early member of Faith Landmark Ministries. Most important to her, she used her time and talents to serve her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Her family will receive friends at 11 a.m. on Friday, December 15, at the Central Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home, 3215 Cutshaw Avenue, Richmond, with a service afterward in Bennett’s Chapel at 12 p.m. Interment will follow in Forest Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Pilots Lane, Richmond. To honor and remember Mary, consider brightening someone’s day by sending flowers to them, or by donating to Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
