Nell Sarah Lambert, 89, passed away Sunday, September 27,
2009, at the Wellmont Hospice House in Bristol, TN, after
an extended illness.
Born on April 25, 1920, in Cedar Bluff, VA, Mrs. Lambert
was a daughter of the late Della and Lee Lambert. Making
her home in Baltimore, MD, during the early years of her
life, Mrs. Lambert was a nurse at Spring Grove Psychiatric
Hospital. She retired and moved to Bristol in 1981 and
continued private nursing for several more years. In
addition to her nursing career while in Baltimore, Mrs.
Lambert also enjoyed providing entertainment for a variety
of events and occasions on the Chesapeake Bay with her
country music band, Miss Nellie and the Country Drifters.
During the past year, knowing that her time was limited
due to her severe heart and lung disease, Mrs. Lambert
became passionate about singing on the stage at Carter’s
Fold before she died. She spent many joyful hours thinking
about and practicing for this event with the help and
encouragement of dear friends Linda Barker, Jerry and
Debbie Powers, Wayne Powers, and friends and musicians,
Gene Price and Ruby Gilbert.
Although her progressive illness prevented her from
realizing her dream, in addition to her nursing and music
careers, Mrs. Lambert was a devoted mother to her two
children who survive her, Larry Greer and Sharon Morrison.
She was predeceased by a son, Jerry Alan Greer. In addition
to her son and parents, Mrs. Lambert was predeceased by
three brothers, Kenneth Lambert, Harold Lambert, and James
Lambert; she was married to the late Henry Carter Greer
and the late Robert Lambert.
Survivors are her two children, Larry Greer and Sharon
Morrison; sister, June Bradley; brothers, Joe Lambert and
wife Helen, and Doug Lambert and wife Jenny; beloved niece
and friend, Karen Cook and her children Brooke, Adam, and
Madison; and a number of other nieces, nephews, and grand
nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Lambert had a large number of home health caregivers
and health providers in the hospitals and rehab centers
who gave her outstanding and loving care, for which she
and her family are so very grateful.
A memorial service will be held at Carter’s Fold at a
later date. For those interested, the information will be
posted on the website of Farris Funeral Service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of
