Jean M. Lloyd

Jean M. Lloyd, aged 89, passed away peacefully at Franciscan Manor with family by her side on Thursday, May 7th, 2026, after a long decline in health. Jean grew up in Brighton Township, graduating from Beaver High School and Wilson College. In 1960 she married Paul Lloyd and, after a brief time in Ohio, they returned to Beaver. She loved spending time with her family and was a kind, delightful friend and neighbor to everyone she met. As a member of the First Presbyterian Church, she sang in the choir and served in Hodge Band. She worked 20 years for the Beaver County Times in Ad Service and Proofreading before retiring.

Jean was happiest outside. She was an avid gardener, growing vegetables and flowers which she shared with all. She loved all creatures and had a soft spot for cats, of which there were many. She was athletic and curious and enjoyed any adventure that took her into the wider world whether it was golfing, canoeing or strolling through a beautiful meadow. The natural world was sacred to her and she was tender toward the most vulnerable among us. She had a quick wit, loved a good laugh and wasn't afraid to be silly. Though she was thrifty to the core, her playful, creative spirit and service to others brought a life of abundance which blessed everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents Gilson and Marie McClure; brother Gilson McClure II;  son Jeff Lloyd II, and grandson Jeff Lloyd III.

Jean is survived by her husband of 65 years, Paul Jefferson Lloyd; sister-in-law, Penny McClure; daughter Essie (Chris) Commers; daughter in law Lori Kennedy Lloyd; grandsons Brandon (Sam) Lloyd and Tom Commers; and great grandson Oliver Lloyd.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, May 18th from 2 - 4 pm at the Beaver Pool House, Beaver PA. Special thanks to Franciscan Manor and Good Samaritan Hospice for their compassionate care in the last four months of Jean’s life. Memorials preferred to the Beaver County Humane Society.
