She was born on August 28, 1937 in Moyers, Oklahoma.
Clydean often spoke of wonderful childhood memories including moving to Arkansas while riding in the back of an old pickup truck on a mattress. After moving to Arkansas, Clydean and her family settled in Wilmar, where she attended school and was the captain of the basketball team. In 1955 she met and married the love of her life, J.R. Lambert. They were married for 58 years.
She is retired from Hampton Public Schools after 18 years and a retired homemaker. She spent most of her life caring for others. She enjoyed gospel and country music and rarely missed an episode of preacher Murry. Although her eyesight was failing her she enjoyed spending her afternoons on facebook where she tried to keep in touch with family and friends. She spent a big part of her life enjoying her grandkids and great grandchildren that she loved dearly and she always had then some ice cream or another little treat.
Clydean is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews.The grandchildren always enjoyed her telling stories on her childhood especially the ones where she was in trouble and laying down on the porch and looking through the crack and seeing a big ol’hog eye looking back at her that had gotten under the porch, or her and JR’s first date to the drive in picture show with her mom, dad, and sisters tagging along.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jessie Ray “J.R.” Lambert; her parents, Leslie B. Wood and Jessie Osgood-Wood; her siblings: Chester Ray Wood, Ruby Faye Lambert, and Geraldine Rawls.
