Charles D. Lamb
1946-2018
Charles Lamb was born into eternity on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at the age of 72. Born in Perry, Oklahoma to Virginia Lamb (Malzahn) and Clyde Lamb, he moved to Edmond in 1958. Charles graduated from Edmond High School in 1965, Wentworth Military Academy in 1967 and later that year, joined the Oklahoma National Guard. He married the love of his life, Cheri, in 1973. During their 45-year love story, they watched their children, Kelley and Erik, grow and raise families of their own. Nothing made him more proud than to be a husband, father and Papa.
Charles spent his life in service of others, helping the community be the best it could be. With over 40 years of public service, he spent the last 18 years serving on the Edmond City Council as the Ward 3 Councilman, and then as the Mayor of Edmond for the last 6 years. Charles' legacy is being carried on by his wife Cheri, his daughter Kelley and her husband Robert Austin, his son Erik and his wife Candi as well as his five grandchildren; Taylor and Alexandra Austin and Ava, Reese and Grayson Lamb.
There was no heart bigger, no light brighter than Charles. He will be remembered by everyone for whom he made this world a better place.
Services will be held at 1:30 p.m., Monday, December 17, 2018 at the New Covenant United Methodist Church in Edmond, OK. If you are considering sending flowers, the family requests that you do not send lilies.
