It is with profound sadness that the family of Roy Curtis Lethbridge announce his peaceful passing, surrounded by loved ones, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on July 30, 1934, in Clarenville, Newfoundland, Roy was the ninth of fourteen children born to Albert and Ida Lethbridge.
Roy was a devoted husband for 51 years to Ruby Frances Seaward (predeceased 2004). He was a beloved father to Jake (predeceased 2024) (Elayne), Gary (Bonnie), Robert (Ave), Michelle (Jim), and Perry. He was a cherished Poppy to Christopher, Jennifer (Kevin), Stephen (Rebecca), Kerry, Danielle (Luke), Ryley, and Jenna, and a proud Great‑Poppy to Brendan, Maggie, and James. Roy is also lovingly remembered by his sister Ida Lillian, and by many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
He is predeceased by his siblings Jim, Blanch, Carrie, George, Ches, Dot, Phil, Son, Bob, Heber, Bill, and Gus, as well as his companions Ruby Barrington and Jose Balsom.
Roy lived a life filled with hard work, humour, and generosity. He treasured time spent with family and friends, and his passions included fishing, hunting, hockey, and proudly participating in the annual Clarenville Santa Claus Parade. A true Newfoundlander, Roy was known for his big heart, quick wit, and unwavering willingness to help others.

Lynn and I are sorry to hear of your father’s passing. When Lynn went back to school, we found ourselves unable to properly care for our dog Glory. Your dad looked after our dog and gave her a wonderful life. For that we were eternally grateful. He was a very nice man. We offer you our most sincere condolences.
Walter and Lynn Quinlan
