Featured Obituary:

Susan Carol Lamb….age 80 and amazing passed away peacefully on March 4, 2024 at her home in Lake Forest, Illinois. Artist, entrepreneur, devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she was born in Washington DC, March 20, 1943, the beloved daughter of the late Maurice Rylas Newton and Julia Maxine Newton nee Lovejoy Price.

Both of her parents were from Central Illinois and after leaving the Navy once the war effort was concluded the family moved to Detroit, Michigan where she grew up alongside her three younger sisters: Joan (Greg) Wallace, Bonnie (Phil) Henault and Patricia Sype. They moved to suburban Farmington Michigan in the summer of 1955 as she was to begin the 6th grade. She attended Farmington High School and graduated in 1961. She was active in choir and enjoyed enormous popularity.

After graduation she immediately set upon a career in business working in several administrative roles. She was most proud of her ability to advance and make a difference in all her endeavors. She worked at the renowned Creative Industries in Detroit as part of the development teams secretly designing and fabricating some of the most innovative cars for Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors….including the Chevrolet Corvette and other iconic brand names.

She came to the Chicago area in the early 1970’s where she continued to find exciting career opportunities and success….especially in advertising. She worked for Post Keyes Gardner, Cunningham Walsh, Playboy, and at Take Ten Productions where she met her husband, Ronald. They were married on December 12, 1981, and are the proud parents of two sons Brian Charles (Kristin) Pertler and Ronald Corbett (Lisa) Lamb. She was also the cherished grandmother of Morgan (Jordan) Fields, Marissa (Michael) McNamara, Jillian Pertler, Annabelle Lamb, and Ryder Lamb. She was also a proud great grandmother of Kinsley, Brody, and Charlie Fields.

Upon moving from downtown Chicago to Glenview in 1983 Susan set upon an active period of designing and remodeling several of their homes. From Glenview to Winnetka to Lake Forest she had a remarkable ability to envision and transform living space in a way that reflected her personality and spirit. Her homes were welcoming and warm and inviting. She was meticulous about the details and never wavered from that throughout her life.

Her talent, activity, and passion extended to a host of interests. Shortly after arriving in Glenview, she became an active member of the United States Navy League (The civilian support arm of the U.S. Navy) where she ultimately rose to be elected Vice-President of the Chapter. She worked on a host of social and historical initiatives and received numerous awards of merit and accolades for these events. Her fondness and love of the Navy grew out of her father Newt’s service and his commitment during World War II. She was incredibly proud of him having been named a squadron “Honor Man” at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in 1942.

In 1993 she and her husband co-founded Source Line Inc., a full-service corporate meeting production company. She successfully developed and implemented the company’s systems for finance and administration. The company flourished during the late 90’s and beyond to become one of the nation’s premier business communications firms. As company Chief Operating Officer, she loved mentoring and sharing the success of the organization with her many co-workers. Her vision for seeing what the company could become was one of her strongest attributes. The company’s clients included some of the Countries top Fortune 500 corporations. She retired in 2014 and relished her time to relax and reflect about the journey to this point. She avidly interacted with so many friends on social media and her Facebook Page was always creative and reflected the beauty she found in graphic arts.
