Ward Lemont Lampkin
February 22, 1905 – January 13, 2006
Ward Lemont Lampkin, loving father and grandfather passed away on January 13, 2006. He was one month short of celebrating his 101st birthday.
A long time resident of Medford, Ward was born and raised in southwestern Missouri, and graduated in 1929 from Springfield Teachers College. In 1930, he married
Myra Esther Cook. After her death from tuberculosis, he met and married
Elberta Gilmore who was his loving wife until her passing in 2001. They moved together to Medford in 1951, where Ward worked until 1970 as a meteorologist for the US Weather Service. He was heard for many years during the 1960's giving the forecast over the local radio stations.
After his retirement, Ward and Elberta began an around-the-world journey to visit Presbyterian missions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. He kept journals of those trips and was in contact with friends worldwide until his last days. After Elberta's passing he moved to Eldridge, Missouri, where he lived with his daughter Janice Pierce, and her husband Bill. Under their care and attention he enjoyed relatively good health and remained mobile and active almost to the end.
All who knew him will miss Ward. He was very active in the First Presbyterian Church at 8th and Holly, and as an avid gardener, he tended to many of the plantings there. Known and respected for his Christian generosity of spirit, for years, he visited shut-ins and the elderly on a consistent basis. Financially, he gave freely to the church, established a college scholarship fund for students at his alma mater High School, and provided funds for his granddaughters' college educations. He had ambitions of writing short stories for children, and after several years of writing and revising, he self-published a collection called Grandpa's Stories, with illustrations by his granddaughter Naomi Pierce.
He is survived by his son, John Lampkin, of Suffern, New York, and his daughter, Janice Pierce, of Eldridge, Missouri. Ward has five granddaughters, Sonnet Kroker of Kings Beach, California; Naomi Ballard of Fulton, Missouri; Eva Pierce of Hillsdale, Michigan; and Jolie and Jemma Lampkin of Nyack, New York. The family will hold a private memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those who wish may make a donation in his name to the “Ward and Elberta Lampkin Mission Fund” of the First Presbyterian Church, 85 S Holly St, Medford, OR 97501 - (541) 779-1711 Mr. Lampkin will be remembered on Sunday, January 29, at both the 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services.
