Janice Lamm Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was born in Durham, NC on March 7, 1957 to the late Marion Leo Markham and Ruth Combs Markham. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, of 40 years, Wallie Conner Lamm and brothers William "Billy" Markham, David Markham and Willie Lee Markham.
Janice was the first female HUD Inspector and worked most of her career for the US Department of Housing & Urban Development. In later years Janice worked as a Security Guard Captain at Carolina Trace with Southern Protection Agency, retiring in 2023. She loved visiting the mountains and attended Solid Rock Community Church. Janice was a true force to be reckoned with. She never met a stranger. She always had a smile on her face and could get you laughing until you cried. She would go out of her way to make sure everyone was taken care of. Her family and friends meant everything to her. Her love for God was evident in everything she did. She shared God's love and amazing grace to anyone and everyone that had ears.
She is survived by her son John Thomas Lamm and wife Shannon of Sanford; sisters Betty Wallace of Florida, Emma Gaster and husband Milton of Sanford and grandchildren Caitlyn Briskie, Rachel Lamm and Aaron Lamm.
The family will receive friends at Solid Rock Community Church on Monday, May 12, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 1:50 PM with the funeral service following at 2:00 PM with Pastor Brad Marona officiating. Burial will follow at Cameron Grove Cemetery.
