Margaret Marie Slutz Loyd
Amarillo
Margaret Marie Slutz Loyd, 93, of Amarillo died Friday, Jan. 28, 2011.
Memorial services will be at 3 p.m. Thursday in the Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount Blvd., with the Rev. Stephen Gaines, pastor of Covenant Fellowship Church, officiating.
Marie was born Dec. 29, 1917, in Sheridan Lake, Colo., to Charles Edgar Slutz and Elizabeth Agnes Redder Slutz. At a very young age, she moved with her family to a farm north of Vega.
She was valedictorian of the Vega High School class of 1934. She married her high school sweetheart, Kenneth R. Loyd, the same year.
She was a very special, loving and supporting stay-at-home mom who was an excellent "scratch" cook and baker of great breads and desserts. Her home and dining table were open to anyone who happened by.
She provided room and board to a number of young family members and friends who attended Amarillo College or worked. Over the years, she opened her home to a young photographer from Japan, a young man from India, several fellow employees of the Amarillo Public Library and too many others to name.
She was a lifelong Methodist and exemplified the love of Christ in her daily life. She was a lover of classical music, great literature and art. She supported the arts community in Amarillo for many years.
Marie retired as book selection librarian from the Amarillo Public Library in 1982 after more than 20 years of service. She loved her job, especially reading the many book reviews.
The family would like to thank the very caring staffs at BSA Hospice, Harrington Assisted Living and Childers Place.
She was preceded in death by her parents; five brothers, Melvin Slutz, Raymond Slutz, Carl Slutz, Glen Slutz and Ralph Slutz; four brothers-in-law, Lewis R. Loyd, Emory Loyd, Donald Loyd and David Loyd; four sisters-in-law, Mary Louise Loyd, Fern Loyd, Geneva Lindsey and Marian Loyd; a great-grandson, Bradley Shane Brown; a great-great-grandson, Jacob Brown; a nephew, Richard Burns; and the father of her children, Kenneth R. Loyd.
