Hannah Lamb Obituary
Our family lost a beautiful, energetic, kind, compassionate and lovely soul on July 5, 2023. Hannah Marie Eddington Lamb, born February 21, 1992, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 31. Hannah was born in Little Rock, raised in Benton, Ark. and lived in Nashville, Tenn. She was an intelligent, curious, caring, strong willed, and loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher and friend. She loved dancing, playing with her daughters, reading, singing, and playing board games at family gatherings. Hannah had a gift of lighting up a room with her bright, beautiful smile.
Hannah graduated from Benton High School, and then went on to study at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, graduating with highest honors. She earned a master’s degree in elementary education at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. She met her husband, Drew Lamb, while they were working with underserved youth as part of Project Transformation-Tennessee. They were married on May 23, 2015. Together they had two beautiful daughters, Eloise (4) and Viola (13 months). Hannah loved her daughters fiercely. She was proud to be an elementary school teacher at Eakin Elementary for the Metro Nashville School District.
Hannah is survived by her husband Drew, her daughters Eloise and Viola, her parents Steve and Vanna McCauley Eddington of Benton, her sister Sarah (Mandar) of St. Louis, Mo., her brother Samuel (Hannah) of North Little Rock, her grandmother Judy McCauley of Okolona and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Charles Wayne Eddington, Edith Himel Eddington, and Harvey Wayne McCauley, as well as her uncles David Eddington and Rick McCauley.
A visitation will be held at First United Methodist Church in Benton on Monday, July 10 at 12:00 pm and a memorial service will be held immediately following at 1:00 pm. A graveside service will follow at Okolona Cemetery in Okolona (Clark County).

I worked with Hannah at Thomas Edison. She was a gifted teacher who loved her students and colleagues well, she always brought joy to any space. I loved working with her. We are heartbroken. Prayers for you all.

My name is Shirley Collins.
I had taught first grade at Edison across the hall from Hannah.
I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss.
She was a kind person who loved to laugh. We use to chat as we stood at our doors in the mornings. She´d once talked about a trip with her husband to Portugal, I believe. She´d talked about how much you both had helped out when her daughter, Eloise, had been born. I think I remember her telling about her mother coming to stay and help out when she went back to teaching. She was very grateful for the help and support.
You are in my prayers.

So sorry that the world has lost such a special person. Hannah served at Project Transformation Tennessee with my daughter in its inaugural year at Tulip Street UMC. The children truly loved her and she truly shared that love with them.
