Carol Lynne Green-Lloyd Obituary
Carol Lynne Green-Lloyd passed away on September 25, 2024, at the age of 79. Carol was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2015, which progressed into leukemia. She died peacefully in Walnut Creek, California, surrounded by loved ones, including her two daughters, sister, and son-in-law.
Carol was born in August 1945 to Kenneth and Genevieve Green in Royal Oak, Michigan. She was one of four siblings with Harold, Laurie, and Rick. Carol graduated from Royal Oak Dondero High School in 1963 and received an associate’s degree from Eastern Michigan University.
In 1974, Carol met her husband, Tony Lloyd, while working at Michigan Bell Telephone Company. Carol and Tony transferred to Pacific Bell in San Francisco a few years later. They were married in Hawaii in May 1978 and then settled in Kensington, California, near Berkeley, where they lived for over 30 years.
Carol was a dedicated member of Arlington Community Church and active in her community. She participated in Arlington Community Church’s Board of Deacons, taught Sunday School, and participated in the church’s volunteer work with the homeless. Carol was also creative and loved artistry. She quilted, sewed Easter and Halloween costumes for her daughters, knit scarves, and learned to weave in her later years.
Carol returned to Michigan regularly to visit family. She loved to spend time “up north” at the cottage her father built in Wolverine, MI. After Tony’s passing, she moved to Walnut Creek to be closer to her daughters and granddaughter, Emma. Her beloved labradoodle, Benny, was her constant companion during this time.
Carol was predeceased by her parents, older brother, niece, and loving husband. She is survived by her two daughters, two siblings, son-in-law, granddaughter, nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and nephews and countless friends who felt her warmth and generosity.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Cantare Con Vivo, a cause deeply important to Carol.
