Hazel Weakley Lamb's Obituary
Hazel Weakley Lamb, 89, currently residing at Dogwood Village in Orange and formerly of Culpeper, passed away Thursday, July 31, 2014 at University Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was born June 13, 1925 in Madison County to the late Joseph Terrell Weakley and Eva Thornhill Weakley.
Hazel retired from Verizon Telephone Company with 35 years of service. After retirement she opened Hope Aid Ministries in Culpeper and operated it for many years. Her passion was ministering to the needs of others for the glory of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She worked assisting veterans and received the Kentucky Colonel award for her service to the community. Above all, she was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be remembered for her beautiful smile and big heart for all who came into her life.
She is survived by her daughters, Sonya L. Smith and Sheila Farrar and her husband, James. Additional survivors include her granddaughters Amber Troska and her husband, Brad, Alicia Smith and Kay Farrish, and grandsons Steve Hall, Patrick McDonnell, Billy Lamb and Glenn Lamb.

The family would like to thank the aides, nurses and staff at Dogwood Village for their loving care of our mother. We deeply appreciate everything you did for her. She cared so much for her friends at Dogwood, and she loved making jewelry and playing bingo and rummy there.
