Nicholas Lazarus Lambert

Nick was born in McComb, MS in January of 1927. He grew up in Natchez where he worked as a linotype operator at The Natchez Times/The Natchez Democrat before moving to Memphis, TN in 1960 to work until retirement for their legal newspaper, The Daily News.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Spurgeon Lambert, Sr.; his mother, Addie Lazarus Lambert; his brother, Charles S. Lambert, Jr. and his siter, Shirley Sue Lambert Sevier.

Although Nick never married or had children of his own, he is mourned by his six neices and nephews: Mike Lambert of Medon, TN; Dr. Robert Sevier of Hattiesburg, MS; John Sevier of Greenville, MS; David Sevier of Spring Hill, TN; Marcia Lambert Fly of Bartlett, TN; and Cheryl Lambert Ridings of Nebo, NC. Nick also leaves his grea nephews, Michael Lambert, James Fly, Ricky Fly, Shane Sevier, Christian Sevier; his great neices, Natalie Lambert Hill, Danielle Sevier, and Diana Sevier; and his great-great nephews, Jack Hill, Tyler Fly, Ethan Fly, and a great great neice, Alex Hill.

Nick busied himself with hobbies of wood-working and care and feeding of martins and hummingbirds, who would literally hover around him. Over the years, hebecame an expert and restoring antique clocks, calling his service "The Nick of Time." There was never a clock he couldn't repair.

Nick loved the Lord, enjoyed life and had a wonderful sense of humor. He genuinely cared about the well-being of others and gave unselfishly. He was "Uncle Nick" to almost everyone he met, but his greatest joy was his family. He asked only that we "remember him well." He made that easy to do.

Interment of his ashes will be at Greelawn Memorial Park in Natchez, MS on Saturday, July 26, 2014 at 10 a.m. The family requests that any memorials be sent to the American Cancer Society or a breast cancer foundation of choice.
