Nancy Jean (Kerr) Lamb
September 18, 1950-September 7, 2020
The family of Nancy Jean (Kerr) Lamb is very sad to announce that she went to be with Jesus on September 7, 2020 after a long battle with cancer. She was born on September 18, 1950 at the old hospital in Silver City to Fred Jr. and Pearl Kerr as the second of five children. She was raised on the family farm and ranch west of Lordsburg and graduated from Lordsburg High in 1968. She was very active in 4-H, showing steers and she loved to compete with garments she made by hand.
Nancy met Ron Lamb at NMSU and married him on July 19, 1969 at the Valley View Presbyterian Church. Nancy was a devoted mother of three, grandmother of five, and great grandmother of one. She was affectionately known as Grandma Nancy by all her family. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, and volunteering with 4-H kids. She made many outfits for her sisters, her daughter, and granddaughters which they modeled in competitions all over the state. She even won the state level “Make it Yourself with Wool Contest” with a gray pin stripe lined suit she modeled herself. She and Ron lived in Las Cruces, Chama, Hagerman, White City, T or C, and Alamogordo before settling in Silver City where they have lived since 1984. She worked for many years as a real estate agent in Silver City.
Nancy was preceded in death by her father, Fred “Duke” Kerr Jr.
She is survived by her husband, Ronald F Lamb of the home, her mother Pearl Kerr of Animas, her daughter Kim Thompson and husband Tommy of Slaton, Tx, son Justin Lamb and wife Tonya of Roswell, and son Jason Lamb of Tucumcari; grandchildren Chase Thompson and wife Denise, Kevyn Thompson, Kyle Lamb, Ryleigh Lamb, and Jessica Lamb; one great grandchild Brynlee Thompson; brothers Allen Kerr and wife Linnie, Bim Kerr and wife Lindy, and sisters Duti Walter and husband Randy, and Kate Johnson; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at the Caballo Church 14664 NM-187 Caballo, NM 87931 on Friday, September 11th at 11am with Pastor Brett Smith officiating. Burial will follow at the Caballo Cemetery. Pallbearers are Justin, Jason, and Billy Lamb, Chase Thompson, Kyle Lamb and Tommy Thompson. Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels.
