Lloyd Cotton of Black, Alabama left us on Saturday, July 9, 2016 to meet his Heavenly Father and join his Wife and Grandson.

Lloyd was a life time resident of Geneva County where he farmed and enjoyed his family, gospel singing and trail rides with his friends.  He served his country honorably during World War II spending most of his active duty time in Europe.  A highlight of his recent years was the Honor Flight to Washington, DC where he traveled with a group of World War II veterans from the wiregrass to see the monuments to the World War II service members.  His love for the country, farming, raising livestock, gospel singing and participation in his church services were all a part of this man who will be missed so much by his family and friends.

Lloyd was preceded in death by Martha, his wife of 69 years, his grandson Brian, parents, Harvey and Vassie Cotton, his sisters Laura Algood and Christine McClendon.

Funeral services will be held at 10am Monday, July 11, 2016 at Bottoms Garden Chapel Funeral Home in Hartford with Rev. Gary Armstrong officiating. Burial will follow in Hartford City Cemetery under the direction of Jimmy Bottoms of Bottoms Garden Chapel Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 4pm to 6pm Sunday, July 10, 2016 at Bottoms Garden Chapel Funeral Home in Hartford.

He is survived by his sons Don (Mary) Cotton of Pensacola and Mike Cotton of Black, his four grandchildren David Cotton, Chris Cotton, Kay Cotton, Kim Duncan and seven great grand children.

The family wishes to thank all those who have been a part of his life and those who contributed to his care while at Hartford Retirement Village and Hartford Heath Care facilities.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hartford Retirement Village.
