Mary Lambeth's Obituary
Mary Etta Schrier Lambeth, age 75, of Bakersville, NC passed away on Tuesday, June 12, 2018. She was the daughter of the late Cornelius M. and Maurine Neissink Schrier.
Mom, Grammy, Mame, left us after a joyous day at her daughter’s house where she celebrated her 75th birthday. She was surrounded by family and her best friend Lucy, an adopted mixed breed terrier. She leaves behind her son and his wife, Rick and Bethany Lambeth of Tarboro, NC, her daughter and her husband, Erin and Christian Caldwell of Huntersville, NC, and eight grandchildren who loved her dearly. She is also survived by her older sister, Marcia Schubert of Kalamazoo, MI, and her sister in law, Shirley Schrier Coffman, of New Windsor, MD, along with a multitude of nieces, nephews, and friends.
Grammy lived life in her own unique style, and at the age of 62 fulfilled her lifelong dream of moving to the mountains and living amongst the trees. She was a devoted gardener who worked tirelessly tending her flowers as long as the weather remained temperate. An avid reader, she loved words and treasured a beautifully written sentence. Though selective about her friends, those whom she considered friends, she loved without bounds. Most importantly she spent her life in the company of dogs. She loved all furry creatures, but particularly dogs……..who loved her back. She joins her many friends after a long separation.
The family will celebrate her life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the ASPCA, or adopt a dog at your local shelter. Her family thanks you for your prayers.
James Funeral Home is serving the family and condolences may be sent to our website at www.jamesfuneralhomelkn.com.
