The daughter of the late Clinton Felder and Ina Mae Phagan Lamb, she was born and lived her entire life in Turner County.

Mrs. Dot was a faithful member of the Harmony Baptist Church and served as the pianist for 45 plus years. She taught many children in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Always with a smile on her face, she was a lady who never met a stranger. She was a 30 year retiree from the banking business having worked at The Colony Bank in Ashburn, formally known as the Ashburn Bank. She was one of the charter employees at Community National Bank, now known as South GA Bank.

Mrs. Dot enjoyed her retirement years meeting and greeting local people and tourists at Carroll’s Sausage while serving sausage samples along with baking teacakes using her mother’s recipe. Dot enjoyed watching the Atlanta Braves, working in her yard, cooking for others, singing gospel music and attending southern gospel sings.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, J. W. “Jake” Lumpkin, Sr. and her infant son, Jim W. Lumpkin, Jr.

Survivors include her children, Jim (Leann) Lumpkin of Sycamore and Debbie (Martin) Young of Tifton and her precious granddaughter, Audrey Young of Tifton. She is also survived by her brother, Doyle (Sylvia) Lamb of Ashburn and several nieces and nephews.
