August 16, 1928 - June 21, 2023
Betty Lou (Erwin) Lamb of North Little Rock, Arkansas, our beautiful and precious mother, passed on to her heavenly home on Wednesday, June 21 in Sherwood.
Betty Lou was the 5th child of Ovid Hazen Erwin and Annie Laura (Wood) Erwin born in 1928 in Cabot, AR. Betty was preceded in death by sisters, Billie Harris and Marie Brown and brothers, J.R., Lloyd and Jim Erwin all from the Midway Community; her loving husband, Joe E Lamb; Darlene Hastings and JoAnn Story.
She was a starting guard for the Midway High School Yellow Jackets in the late 1940s. She also played Independent League basketball for the Harville-Byrd Electric Company. Betty Lou liked sports and working on her fitness, plus being a keen motivator for her two sons in their North Little Rock sports endeavors growing up. She also enjoyed water skiing on beautiful Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, AR, as well as being a most exceptional dancer. Mrs. Lamb worked a full career at Westinghouse Electric Company then finished her work life with the North Little Rock School District. She was the world's best Mom and always kept a good attitude through the last two years with a disability. Betty attended Levy Methodist Church.
Betty Lou is survived by two sons, Garry (Becky) Lamb and Ovid Joe (Brenda) Lamb and daughter, Carolyn McCrary of Lonoke, AR; grandchildren, Doug, David and Denise Hastings, Charlotte and Caroline McCrary, Mason and Rachel Lamb, Dawn Gunter, and Stephanie Haynes; nephews, Doug Erwin of Cabot, Jackie Jones and Joe Brown of California and nieces, Linda (Bill) Anderson of Cabot, AR, Darlene (Craig) Taylor of Chatworth, California and Linda Gail Erwin.
The family wants to say a special thank you to the Sherwood Nursing and Rehab staff.

Aunt Betty was a one of a kind. You never had to worry about what she was thinking. Her and Uncle joe would make my heart happy to watch them dance at the Eagles. The enjoyed life, boating, skiing, dancing, fashion.
I went to her house every chance I got. She loved to cook salmon Crockett, they were the best. She always looked forward to having watermelon on 4th July. You could tell her anything, in typical Erwin fashion she would have and answer.
She loved Mason and Rachel. They hung the moon with her.
There are son many stories I would love to share. The most important is I asked her one day on one of my visits back home, If she had been saved and knew the Lord. She said yes I do. That was all that mattered to me. I will miss her ,but I know I will see her again. Love the family Linda Gail Erwin Bird
