Jacqueline "Jackie" Lamm Souder, 99, of Augusta, Georgia died on Tuesday, January 21.  A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at Riverside Cemetery (main gate) in Macon, Georgia. The family will greet friends for a catered reception prior to the service from 12:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. at Hart's Mortuary on Cherry Street.

She was a resident of Brandon Wilde Life Care Community in Evans, Georgia. Born in Macon, Ga. in 1925 to Dr. J. Herman and Mrs. Alva Ricks Lamm, she was the widow of Redding Crawford Souder, Jr. Mrs. Souder was a graduate of both Druid Hills High School in Atlanta and Wesleyan College in Macon. She was a sustaining member of the Junior League of Macon, a member of the Jackson Springs Garden Club and was a charter member of Highland Hills Baptist Church in Macon and a member of the Sarah Harrell Sunday School class.

Survivors include her three daughters Sherrie S. Hanks (Doug) and Jacqueline S. Cates (Doug) of Augusta, and Anne S. Gilbert (Lyn) of Winter Park, Florida; eight grandchildren Henry Douglas Hanks, Jr., Mary Neil Stroud (Matt), Redding Cofer Cates (Lina), John Douglass Cates V (Susie), and Charles Souder Cates (Kayla), Crawford Michael Gilbert, Thomas Souder Gilbert (Tara), Jacqueline Gilbert Peed (Asa); ten great-grandchildren Mac Stroud, Henry Stroud, Eliza Stroud, Gilbert Hanks, Harrison Hanks, Dalia Cates, Etta Cates, Bo Cates, Jack Cates, and Mary Ellis Cates, Annalyn Gilbert, and Allie Ricks Peed; and one nephew, John Batiste Dahin.

Jackie enjoyed playing countless hands of bridge throughout her adult life. Her rug-hooking group in Macon, "The Hookers", who met together for over 50 years, prided themselves in hooking large rugs and sewing under that title long before the name came to be used in a different way.

She also enjoyed gardening and tending her roses both in Macon and Augusta, always keeping fresh-cut flowers in her house.

The family is grateful to her five devoted caregivers who are Polly Davis, Sharon Gant-Wadley, Sherry Sapp, Elizabeth Stone, Taishimia Wiley, and Cornelia “Coco” Smith.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Salvation Army of Macon.
