Stella Rovene (Dail) Lloyd

Stella Rovene Dail Lloyd, 99 years old, passed from this earthly life to her eternal rest on Monday, January 20, 2025.

She was born on July 1, 1925, in Duplin County, North Carolina; the daughter of the late Sina Dail Casteen.  Mrs. Lloyd was also preceded in death by her husband Columbus Lloyd; her son-in-law Terry Brown and numerous siblings.

Mrs. Lloyd attended Missionary Baptist Church in Maple Hill, NC when her health permitted.

Surviving to cherish her memory are her devoted daughters Eleanor Brown of Chinquapin and Joan Hall and her husband Chuckie of Rose Hill; her loving grandchildren, Meta Rich and husband James Earl, Bart Brown, Ryan Brown and wife Rebecca and Shelly Sutton. Mrs. Lloyd was also blessed with five great grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that she loved dearly.

Stella was a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend.  She enjoyed the simplest things in life but her great joy was family.  She was a diligent homemaker and with a joyful spirit she filled her home with love and welcomed all who entered.  Stella’s passion was her yard.  She always made sure it was pristine all the time.  She never let a pinecone drop from the tree that she was soon there to grab it up and burn it.  Stella lived by the saying “cleanliness is next to godliness” all through her life.  Being blessed with good health, Stella was able to maintain her home by herself for the last 25 years.  She was a determined lady who knew what she wanted.  Stella had a special love for God, her family and her neighbors.  She will surely be missed but treasured memories of her will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved Stella. 

Funeral service will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at The Church at Pin Hook with Pastor David Walker and Pastor Mickey Cox officiating. 

The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, one hour prior to the funeral service at the church on Saturday.
