Pastor Lifer, 85, of Toomsuba, passed away on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at the Regency Hospital of Meridian. Lamar was a loving husband, father, grandfather, friend, and Pastor. He loved to spend his time with his family and in his workshop. Lamar was in the process of building a Prayer Garden for the local community. He grew up in Hattiesburg, where he began pastoring at the age of 17 and started a Church with his sister, Linnie. He graduated from William Carey University. He later went on to Pastor in five different states, along with leading Revivals across the Country. While pastoring in Arkansas, he had the opportunity to become the President of the Pastor's Convention and serve on committees within the Southern Baptist Convention. Lamar had a passion for mentoring young Pastors and ministering to retired Pastors. He even went onto writing and teaching a Prayer journal that he loved to share with others. He was the current Pastor of Salem Baptist Church in Toomsuba for the last ten years, where he loved to serve the Lord and his Church members. C. Lamar "Poppi" was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
