Other survivors are eleven grandchildren and two brothers: Chester Elliott of Lockridge and Lonnie Elliott of Winfield. One daughter, Ruth Hester, preceded her mother in death.
Mrs. Lamm was a member of the Friends' Church. Her perseverance, faithfulness, devotion to duty, love for people and good cheer cannot be forgotten.
