FRANKLIN – Judy Lamm Avent, 78, left this world to be with her mother, father and siblings on June 20, 2022. Judy passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. She was born Aug. 28, 1943, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina to the late Woodrow and Annie Proctor Lamm. She was predeceased by two sisters and one brother.

Judy retired from Southampton Memorial Hospital’s Human Resources Department after over 30 years of service. Feeling the need to stay busy she started working for Dr. Madhukar Kaloji in Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. She was also a member of Franklin Baptist Church and Sunday School Class.
