Ms. Lazenby was born May 12, 1964, and passed away on October 29, 2023 due to a brief cancer battle.

Ms. Lazenby enjoyed taking trips to the beach, attending concerts, playing softball, being outdoors and cooking, especially her kids favorite- fried chicken. She also liked watching hummingbirds and butterflies, gardening, and tending to her plants. Although she was a “workaholic”, she loved spending time with her family the most.

Survivors include her six children, Natalie McKnight, Ryan McKnight, Niki McKnight, Ashley Gosdin and husband Colby, Shelby Lazenby, Jeffery Lazenby Jr. and wife Valerie; 20 grandchildren, Madison, Garrett, Hunter, J.D. Alayah, Briana, Kamryn, Alexis, Bryson, Lizzy, Shooter, Rowen, Ava Jane, Bentley, Talon, Gracyn, Cash, Madden, Karson and Stadler; one great-grandson on the way, Carter Wallace; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many special friends.
