Jean Lake entered the Life Eternal on Tuesday, June 20, 2017. She was born on
November 26, 1927, in Roanoke, VA, the daughter of Eugene L. Urick and Ruth
Williams. She was preceded in death by her parents and by her grandparents,
Edna R. Williams, Roy Williams, Kathryn Evans Urick and Irvins Urick.

Jean graduated from Jefferson High School in Roanoke and attended National
Business College there. In 1948, she married Lacy M. Walthall, Jr., also
of Roanoke and moved with her husband, who was Special Agent with the FBI,
to FBI offices in Minnesota, Missouri, Connecticut and in Fayetteville, NC,
for 27 years. While living in Fayetteville, she was a secretary in the Pope
School - Ft. Bragg Dependent School.

In retirement years, Jean and her husband built a house on Figure Eight
Island, where they lived for seventeen years. During those years, they
traveled to many places in the continental United States, Alaska, Egypt
and most of the countries in Europe.

The couple moved to Plantation Village in 1999, and in 2008, shortly after
their sixtieth wedding anniversary, Lacy died. Jean married her longtime
friend, and fellow Plantation Village resident, Levin Lake, a retired
Episcopalian priest, in 2009, and they continued to live in the Village.

Jean is survived by her husband, The Rev. Levin Lake, and by her children,
David G. Walthall, his wife Ruth Sherrill Walthall, Lacy M. Walthall,
III and his wife Deborah Smith Walthall, grandchildren Matthew, Joshua,
Brian and Lacy IV; and great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Juliet Walthall.

Jean was a warm, caring, generous and fun-loving person, who will be sorely
missed. While her family and her many friends mourn her loss, we all know
that she has achieved the Bliss of Eternal Life with the Lord whom she loved.

Funeral services will be held at St. Andrew's on-the-Sound Episcopal Church
at 1:00pm Friday, June 23, 2017, with interment in Roanoke, VA.

In lieu of flowers, contributions to St. Andrew's on-the-Sound will be
appreciated, or contributions to a favorite charity.
