Obituary For Deloris N. Lamb
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mrs. Deloris N. Lamb.
Deloris Nealy Lamb, 80, passed away Thursday, May 28, 2026.
Deloris Nealy Lamb was born on November 11, 1945 in Scooba, Mississippi, as the fourth daughter of six children to the late John Wesley Sr. and Roberta Nealy. She confessed Christ at an early age and continued to faithfully serve the Lord as an active member and Mother at Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church in Quincy, Florida, St Luke Primitive Baptist Church, Midway Florida and Greater Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church, Tallahassee, Florida until her transition to her eternal home.
She attended Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where she met and married the love of her life, Eugene Lamb, Jr, on December 27, 1969; and remained his faithful companion and number one supporter during their 57 years of marriage. She ultimately made Midway, Florida her home where she happily raised their two children, Rolanda and Brian.
Deloris worked for the Florida Department of Labor and the Department of Corrections for over 30 years until she retired in 2005. Her commitment to spiritual, civic, and community service was a model for so many in her family, profession, and community. She was a dedicated servant leader and played a pivotal role in the care of so many individuals, including her parents and her late Uncle Lonnie Nealy and Aunt Clara Nealy of Tuscaloosa, AL.
She was preceded in death by her parents and eldest brother, George Nealy, Sr. She departed this life surrounded by her loving family on Thursday, May 28, 2026 in Tallahassee, Florida.
She leaves to cherish her memory: her loving and faithful husband, Eugene Lamb, Jr; one son, Brian Lamb (Paulette), New York, NY; one daughter, Rolanda Walton, Jacksonville, FL; one brother, John Nealy Jr., Birmingham, AL; three sisters, Ruth Ann Sullivan, Atlanta, GA, Roberta Burnside, Montgomery, AL, and Catherine Turner (Andrew), Birmingham, AL; two brothers-in-law, Charles Lamb, Willie D. Lamb, Midway, FL; three sisters-in-law, Emma Lee Lamb, Annie Lamb Houston, and Mary Lamb, Midway, FL; along with five grandchildren: Bryce, Ava, Alana, Alexis and Cenai; one goddaughter, Daphne Kilpatrick; a caring best friend, Carolyn Colston; and a host of nephews, nieces, other relatives, and friends; and a special thanks to her niece, Shawanna Lamb, and Dwan Walker who cared for her during the precious final year of her life.

To the Lamb Family, you have our deepest sympathies. Deloris lived an incredible life. She had a life long marriage with Eugene and they raised two amazing children. We are remembered by how we live our life on this earth and the offspring we leave behind. Deloris is remembered by the exceptional impact of both. I hope you all can find peace in comfort in the wonderful and meaningful life Deloris lived; the kindness she showed everyone and the faith she instilled in so many. With love and peace, The Peebles Family

Dea. Lamb, my prayers and thoughts have been with you during the sickness and now the transition of your "help meet", Mth. Lamb. I offer you the immoral words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., where said: "Death is not a period that ends the sentence of life, but rather an exclamation mark that punctuates it to a loftier height". Continue trusting our God and His ubiquitous Holy Spirit. I love you. Shalom.
