The Jean S. Lockerby Memorial Scholarship

DESCRIPTION

These scholarships have been established by the Lockerby family in memory of their parents, Lloyd and Jean. Lloyd Lockerby passed away in February 2008 in Summerside, PEI. His death was preceded by that of his wife, Jean, in 1998.

Lloyd and his wife Jean were partners in life, together raising three sons and operating a Shorthorn cattle operation and a third-generation fox farm in Hamilton, PEI. The high quality of foxes produced on the Lockerby ranch became recognized throughout PEI, Canada and abroad, and Lloyd himself became known as one of the most knowledgeable fox ranchers in the industry.

Lloyd graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1933, and from MacDonald College, a constituent of McGill University, in 1938, being the recipient that year of the Governor General’s medal for top standing in his class. During the decades thereafter, he made an indelible mark in his regional community and in the broader community of . Jean was throughout her life a strong advocate of education at all levels. Having graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1930 with a first class teacher’s licence, she taught in several Island schools, including Summerside High School. She had a keen interest and provided leadership in community affairs, particularly in the areas of heritage and culture.

In honour of Lloyd Lockerby’s deep commitment to community service and the agricultural community of Prince Edward Island, and Jean Lockerby’s desire to encourage, recognize and support students pursuing post-secondary education, and to contribute to the future well-being of the Island, these scholarships have been created in their memories.
