Thelma Howell Lambert, age 82 and a resident of the Watson Community, passed away Thursday morning September 26, 2024. She was a native and longtime resident of Mount Hermon before moving to her daughter’s home 8 years ago. Thelma worked for many years as a Certified Nursing Assistant in the long-term care and home care industry. She served those in need at Forest Manor Nursing Home in Denham Springs as well as other nursing homes. Thelma also worked for CARE, Inc. in Hammond for many years. She was always a deeply loving person both to her family and those she knew well, but also to each and every person she worked with or cared for. Thelma never let an opportunity pass to tell someone “I Love You”, including the many doctors and nurses that cared for her through the years. She attended Jesus Ministry church in Baker and loved the Lord and her church family. Thelma enjoyed going to the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee with her family each year and they even took a recent trip to North Carolina to see the sites there. She enjoyed sewing and crocheting. Her greatest joy was taking care of her family and spending time with her young grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
