Sally Lamkin

We both knew Sally and Burt at Albion College, and were delighted to be able to continue our friendship in Ann Arbor. They were both outstanding people and educators and great friends. They will be missed.

When I attended Community High School (class of `75) Sally became my teacher and mentor. I helped her several days a week -in the UMC pre-school - learning about how to interact and teach children, and I received school credit for this. I later became a teacher, and taught for close to 30 years, before retiring. Sally always had time for you - to ask questions, or ask advice. I know she had a large impact on my life, and my choice of becoming a teacher. She will be missed by many!

Hu David. Ann and Cate, i am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Allan and I met your parents when your Dad came to Thurston School as principal in 1972 I think. A wonderful friendship developed and especially the bond your Dad and Allan shared over flying. He was Allan´s first instructor and eventually Allan became an instructor too for the Ann Arbor Flyers. Burt taught me the safety course and how to land our plane. I was scared, but did it. I have many fun memories of times both in...

Sally and I were in the same exercise class for years. She was always fun to talk with and was very upbeat. I'm sure she will be greatly missed by many, Karen Ferguson

Our 3 sons were fortunate to have Sally as their teacher at FUMCN from 1980 through 1985. She was a wonderfully kind they loved her. As parents, we assisted a few times a month at the pre-school, and I can still picture all 3 of those rooms. We have a great photo of one of our boys sitting on her lap at the piano, wearing his birthday crown. Burt was the Principal at the school my mother in law, Rhoda, taught at back in the day. Rhoda loved them both. Visited the cabin in Good Hart...

Mrs. Lamkin was my preschool teacher at FUMCN and I absolutely adored her. I´m 46 and have a hard time remembering 20 minutes ago at this point :) but I still remember the little Smurfs she would give us on our birthday, the giant plastic wheels we got to play in, the creative/fun book bags we got to take home with all the little items to enhance the reading with, how magical it was there for kids, and how sweet, kind, loving, artistic, and caring she was. My Mom and I often would stop to see...

I knew Sally through the wonderful Delta Kappa Gamma International Society for Women Educators. She became a member in 1983 and was an inspiring force in that group throughout the years. She will be missed. What a wonderful and dynamic life she lived!

My mom was beautiful inside as well as outside. I am so lucky to have had her in my life.
