OSituary
Mrs* Thelma Lamar, of Augusta, Georgia, made her tram
sition to glory, January 14, 2003. A native of Augusta, Georgia and the oldest of four children born to James and Theodosia Walton. Mrs. Lamar was educated at the historic Haines Insti tute under the direction of Mrs. Lucy Craft Laney. As a small child she accepted Christ and was baptized at Tabernacle Bap tist Church by Dr. Charles Thomas Walker. She married her high school sweetheart, Matthew Lamar. From this union six children were born: Matthew Jr., Eleanor, Armenta, Carolyn, Walton, and Milton Lamar.
A devoted Christian and homemaker, Mrs. Lamar spent her time educating her children with homespun wisdom and biblical teachings. She was committed to developing Christian-centered ethics for her family and community. As a pianist for the Baptist Training Union and the Senior Choir and a Sunday School Teacher, many young people learned from her what "service to Christ" really means.
Mrs. Lamar will be missed and she leaves behind a loving family who has been influenced by her sweet, soft and kind spirit. She is survived by: three daughters, Eleanor (William) Prince, Armenta Fryer and Carolyn (Sylvester) Jackson; three sons, Matthew (Della Loretta) Lamar, Jr., Walton (Lillie) Lamar, Milton (Aretha) Lamar; brother, Thomas Walton; sister, Mrs. Inez W.

O/ten into folly straying, O , my mother! How I 've grieved her! Often I 've heard her praying for me,
Till the gushing tears relieved her; And she gently rose and smiled, Whispering, "G od will keep my child."
She was youthful then, and sprightly, Fondly on my father leaning,
Sweet she spoke, her eyes shone brightly, Now, an autumn leaf decayed; I, perhaps, have ma - jade.
But, whatever ills betide thee, Mother, in them all 1 share; In thy sickness watch beside thee, And beside thee kneel in prayer. Best o f mothers! On my breast lean thy head.
And sink to rest. Anonymous
