Carolyn Diane Lamb

Carolyn Diane Lamb, age 76, of Mint Hill, North Carolina, passed away at home on March 27, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 8, 1948, in Bennettsville, South Carolina, and was formerly of Laurel Hill, North Carolina.

A cherished member of the community, Carolyn was deeply rooted in her faith as a longtime member of Springfield Pentecostal Holiness Church. She graduated from Laurel Hill High School as part of the Class of 1966 and went on to marry the love of her life, Jim Lamb, on July 2, 1967. Together they raised three beautiful children, Kenny, Angela, and Bradley.

Carolyn's professional journey reflected her dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. After working for FritoLay from 1979 to 1982, she ventured into business ownership, opening her own Alterations Shop, Carol’s of Charlotte. In 1985, alongside her husband, she co-founded Lamb Sewing Machine Company, Inc., where she served as the Office Manager until her retirement. In 2002, she embraced her role as a full-time "Nana" to her three precious grandchildren.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Carolyn found joy in travel, cooking Sunday dinners for her family, and reveling in Beach Music. She poured her heart into creating special moments for her family during holidays and birthdays, and her love for Panther Football and Carolina Tar Heels Basketball was unwavering.

Carolyn is survived by her devoted husband, Jim Lamb, her children Kenny Lamb (wife Suzanne) of Harrisburg, NC, Angela Price (husband Jeff) of Matthews, and Bradley Lamb (girlfriend Marianne Smith Stern) of Mint Hill. She was the loving grandmother of Dylan Lamb, Austin Lamb, and Haley Price (fiancee Christian Little). She is also survived by her mother, Pearl Graham of Laurel Hill, NC, her brother Wayne Graham (wife Laurie) of Holden Beach, her Sister-in-Law Edith Lamb Broughton of Raleigh and numerous other cherished family members and friends.

Carolyn was predeceased by her father, Marion “Buck” Graham of Laurel Hill, NC and her sister-in-law Barbara Lamb-Morfe of Maryland.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Denna McDowell for her compassionate care and all she did for Carolyn.

The family would also like to express their appreciation to Novant Health Hospice; Dr. Kris Ruangchotvit of Novant Health Psychiatric - Matthews, Dr. Robert Wiggins of Novant Health Neurology and Sleep Associates, Dr. Joseph Whalen of Atrium Health Mint Hill Primary Care for their dedicated care and kindness, nurse Lynde Garmon, Chaplin Amanda Lewis, and social worker Nadia Grey-Kelly.

A visitation for Carolyn will be held Monday, April 1, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at McEwen Funeral Service-Mint Hill Chapel, 7428 Matthews-Mint Hill Road, Mint Hill, NC 28227. Service will immediately follow. Carolyn will be laid to rest at Sunset Memory Gardens, 8901 Lawyers Road, Mint Hill, NC 28227.

If you would prefer to donate to a charity or church in mom’s name in lieu of flowers, we would love to know about it. Mom had so many causes she loved that it would be nice to know her memory carries on in the world.

Carolyn will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love, kindness, and devotion to family will forever endure in the hearts of those she touched. May she rest in peace.
