Linda J. McLamb
CLINTON — Mrs. Linda Faye Jackson McLamb, 70, of 2190 Five Bridge Road, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017 at Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro with her loving family by her side.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28, at Royal-Hall Funeral Home with Dr. Kenneth Benton officiating. Burial will follow in the Clinton Cemetery.
Born on March 27, 1947, Linda was the daughter of the late Bessie Weeks and Charlie Jackson. She graduated from Clinton High School in 1965 and retired from the Sampson County Tax Office. Linda loved flower gardening and being outside enjoying nature, especially watching hummingbirds and butterflies. She was a woman of many talents. The Lord blessed her with many gifts, especially drawing, painting and poetry, having written "The Fallen Firefighter's Prayer," and many others.
Linda is survived by the love of her life, her husband of 48 years, James "Kendall" McLamb; her son, James John "J.J." McLamb and wife, Angie; a granddaughter, her great love, Ashlyn McLamb; two brothers: Charles Jackson and wife, Norma Jean; Dwight Jackson and wife, Sherry; three sisters: Marie J. Pope and her deceased husband, Curtis; Pamela J. Matthis and husband, Thomas; Marsha J. Powell and husband, Keith; Special Nieces: Renee Pope Hall, Jeanette Midgett; Special Nephew, Charlie Powell; all of Clinton. She was also blessed with her "special babies" Mo and Lady Bug; and several other nieces and nephews: Laura, Dwain, Amy, Mary Ann, Kevin, Kyle, Trace, Jackson, Gage, Blythe, Laura Catherine, Parker, Reid, Karson, Kylie and Caroline. She was loved by everyone who knew her and will be greatly missed.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister, Joyce Jackson and her grandson Brice McLamb.
The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept, 27, at Royal-Hall Funeral Home Chapel, and other times at the home of her brother, Dwight Jackson at 506 Stewart Ave., Clinton.

We are so sorry for your loss. I have only known Linda a few months but when I met her she was so kind and it seemed as I've known her for years. I recently lost my dachshund and when I talked to her about my loss she replied "Is there any other dog?" I felt a closest to her, for she made me feel loved. She is going to be missed.
