Heather Christine Lambeth Crump

Heather Christine Crump, a devoted nurse, beloved grandmother, and woman of deep faith, passed away suddenly on November 6, 2025. Born in Forsyth County on October 1, 1974, Heather brought warmth, strength, and joy to everyone who knew her.

Heather was proud of her work as a nurse, dedicating herself to caring for others with compassion and grace. Her passions were many—she had a special love for turtles and delighted in collecting anything adorned with them. NASCAR racing was another favorite, and she cherished every moment spent watching races or attending them in person with her family.

The beach was Heather’s sanctuary. Always ready for a trip to the shore, she found peace and happiness in the sound of the waves and the beauty of the ocean. But her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

She was a cheerful spirit and would always brighten up anyone’s day, always putting others first. Heather was a fighter and incredibly strong. She was truly a blessing to have as a mother and to have experienced her love and light.

Heather shared her faith openly and fearlessly, touching hearts with her testimony and unwavering belief. Her absence leaves a deep ache in our hearts, but we are grateful for the years we had with her and the love she gave so freely.

She was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents Bishop and Treva Hodges, David W. Lambeth, and Geraldine Goode; her uncle, Claryton Hodges; as well as her cherished niece, Rochelle C. Lambeth.

Left to honor and cherish her memory are her parents, Trudy Hodges and John Wayne Lambeth; her loving children, David Thompson, Travis Thompson, Brittany Thompson, and Savannah Salas; and her treasured grandchildren, Mason Gordon, Carter Webster, Scarlett Gordon, Caroline Lapoint, and Tobias Lapoint. She is also survived by her dear sister, Michelle Hopkins (Travis), and adored nieces Brielle and Taylen.

Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

We will miss Heather dearly, but we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, embraced by the love of the Lord. We will see you again.

We warmly invite everyone who knew and loved our mother and daughter Heather, to join us for her memorial service this weekend. The service will be held on Saturday, November 15th, at 1:00 PM at 4370 Reid Rd, Tobaccoville, NC 27050 Gospel Mission Baptist Church. This gathering is open to all who wish to honor her memory. Following the public service, the family will move downstairs for a private celebration to share favorite memories, celebrate Heather's vibrant life, and reflect on the joy she brought to so many.
