Obituary
LAMB, MARTHA CAROLYN, age 82, of Nashville died August 9, 2008.
A native of Fayetteville, TN, she was born July 19, 1926, and was the daughter of the late William Bonner Lamb and Martha Hancock Lamb. A graduate of Central High School in Fayetteville, she attended Fairfax Hall in Waynesboro, VA, and received her B.S. from Peabody College in Nashville.
A loyal employee of the Cumberland Valley Girl Scouts for 27 years, she was proud to receive the Girl Scout Adult Appreciation Award, as well as the Green Angel Award.
During retirement, she continued volunteering for Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal), where she had been a member since 1952. She spent many happy hours for over 25 years helping at the This-‘N-That Thrift Shop benefiting St. Luke’s Community Center.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers: William B. Lamb, III; Robert H. Lamb, and James B. Lamb. She is survived by two nephews, William Lamb (Cindy) of Levittown, PA, and Bill Lamb of Austin, TX; and a niece, Dixie Lamb of Maryville, TN. She also had several special grand-nieces and grand-nephews and many loving cousins, including Betty Lamb Pryor of Tanner, AL, and her daughter Patty Pryor Davis (Lucian) of Nashville. Carolyn’s family especially wants to thank the devoted staff of Mary, Queen of Angels, in Nashville, where Carolyn spent the final years of her life, and Mary Herbert Kelly, who had served as her Stephen Minister for six years.
A graveside service is planned for Tuesday, August 12, at 2:00 pm at Rose Hill Cemetery in Fayetteville, TN. The Reverend Canon Geoffrey Butcher of Christ Church Cathedral will officiate. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Higgins Funeral Home of Fayetteville.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Christ Church Cathedral, 900 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203; or St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church of Fayetteville, TN, or to the charity of your choice.
