Larry Dean Lovelace, 73, of Colora, MD passed away Thursday, November 27, 2014 at Union Hospital in Elkton, MD. Born January 5, 1941 in Elizabethton, Tennessee, Dean was the son of the late Bruce and Ella Jane (Hyder) Lovelace.
A heavy equipment operator, Larry was a member of the Operating Engineers Local 37 in Baltimore, MD. He worked on many projects and highways in the area including 495 in Delaware, 695 and Rt.40 in Maryland and he even went to Turkey for 18 months to work on airport runways. He was proud of all the projects in which he participated. In his down time he enjoyed gardening, “tractoring”, “collecting”, scratch-offs and word searches. He would faithfully start each day visiting Benjamin’s Grocery store and Royal Farms. A friend to all, Dean always lent a helping hand and he will be missed by many.
Dean is survived by his loving wife of 47years, Alyce Lovelace; a son, Larry K. Eller (Donna) of Coudersport, PA; daughters, Melissa Wood (Lewis) of Port Deposit, MD, and Nancy Lovelace of Bel Camp, MD; grandchildren, Bradley Eller, John Brooks, Bobby Brooks, Anthony Hayden and Rachel Eller; great grandchild, Abigayle Louise Price-Eller; brothers, Robert Lovelace (Lucy), Homer Lovelace (Joyce), and his identical twin, Terry Dale Lovelace (Jeananne); sisters, Louise Goodie and Rena Marie Cummins; and his dog and faithful companion, Nakita, who was often seen by his side in his truck.
In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by his daughter, Amy Louise Lovelace, his brothers, Thomas E. Lovelace and John W. Lovelace, and sister, Wilma Fischer.
A service will be held in Dean’s honor at 11AM on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at the Rising Sun Church of the Nazarene, 2626 Tome Hwy., Colora, MD 21917. Visitations will be held from 6-8PM on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, PA, 111 S. Queen St., Rising Sun, MD 21911 and one hour prior to the service at the church. Burial will follow at West Nottingham Presbyterian Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made payable to the Rising Sun Church of the Nazarene and sent in care to the funeral home.

Dear Alyce, Nancy, Anthony & the rest of the family. Mom & I are so, so sorry to hear of the passing of Dean. I am sure my Dad has not gotten too far from the gate of Heaven yet so he was probably there to greet him. I can honestly say I know the pain you are feeling. You all are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you all very much!!! I always enjoyed speaking with Dean. He was a great guy. May God bless you all with special memories & the unexplainable peace & hugs of Jesus at this sad time.
