Obituary for Mary Ann Lloyd (Smith)
Mary Ann (Smith) Lloyd, age 82, a longtime resident of Dracut, passed away at Lowell General Hospital on Friday, August 26, 2022 surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of the late John S. Lloyd who passed away in 2003.
Mary Ann was born on Governors Island, New York City, New York on July 25,1940 and was the daughter of the late Ray C. and Selma F. (Weyland) Smith.
Mary’s family moved to Lowell when she was just 6 years old and soon after settled in Dracut. She attended Dracut Schools and graduated from Dracut High School in 1957.
She was a member of Christ Church United in Dracut and was active in the Loaves of Love group at the church where she made many wonderful new friends.
Mary Ann married her one and only true love, John, in 1958 and went on to have seven children together. One of her greatest blessings was being able to stay home to raise her family. Mary Ann not only raised her 7 children, but also provided loving daycare for many of her grandchildren. She cherished hosting everyone on Christmas Eve and serving her famous chicken pot pie and spaghetti or potato salad.
Mary Ann was very self-sufficient and strong. She was able to do “anything a man could do” and was known as a real MacGyver to her family. She also loved doing jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, crocheting and reading.
