Lynda “Meme” Stampley, a cherished member  of the Nederland community, peacefully departed this life on March  17, 2025, at her home,  surrounded by her loving family. She was born on  August 19, 1941, in Ben Wheeler, Texas, and lived  a life full of love, service,  and devotion to her family. 

Lynda dedicated many  years of her life to a fulfilling career as a secretary, retiring from her  position at Caleb Brett in  Nederland. Her work ethic and commitment were  evident throughout her  career. A proud graduate  of Tyler Junior College,  she valued education and  lifelong learning. 

Lynda’s greatest joy came from her family, whom she adored deeply.  She took immense pleasure in spending time with her grandchildren  and great grandchildren, never missing an event or  activity they participated in. Her love for them was palpable, and she  cherished every moment spent in their company. She was known for her  culinary talents, often  preparing holiday meals and special treats, including her famous milkshakes, pancakes, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Her crafting skills  brought delight to her  grandchildren and great  grandchildren, as she created beautiful items with  love. 

A devoted member of  First Methodist Church  in Nederland, Lynda was  actively involved in her community. Alongside  her husband, Jack, she gave her time and heart  as a foster parent, providing a nurturing environment for children in need.  This selfless dedication is  a testament to her caring  spirit and the impact she had on those around her. Lynda is survived by  her husband, Jack Stampley; children Gena Stampley Worsham and her  husband, Richard, Scott  Stampley and his wife,  Wendi, and Kevin Stampley and his wife, Gina; as  well as 10 grandchildren  and 15 great grandchildren (16 great grandchildren with one more due  in May), who will carry  forward her legacy of love and warmth. 

She was preceded in  death by her parents, James Lynon Stringer and Grace (Beggs) Stringer, and her sister,  Imogene Butler. Lynda’s family finds solace in the memories shared and the love she imparted to each of them. 

Lynda will be remembered for her nurturing  spirit, her culinary delights, and her unwavering love for family. She  touched the lives of many  and will be profoundly  missed. 

Heartfelt thanks to Lynda’s caregivers, Rameka and Judy, and Denise with Amedisys Hospice for the love and care they provided to her and her family during this difficult time. 

A visitation will be held  on March 24, 2025, from  9:30 AM to 10:30 AM at  First Methodist Church  in Nederland, located at  1300 Nederland Avenue, Nederland, TX, 77627. A  funeral service will follow  at 10:45 AM, with interment taking place at Oak  Bluff Memorial Park in  Port Neches, TX, at 12:15
