Aida Mae Lamey, 86, of Centre Hall, formerly of Wolf Store, passed away Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025, at the Lock Haven Rehab and Senior Living. Born June 7, 1938, in Wolf Store, Aida was the daughter of the late W. Paul and Caroline F. "Gardener" Weagley. On June 16, 1955, Aida married Ray H. Lamey, Sr., who preceded her in death April 17, 1995.
Aida was the wife of a farmer, faithfully working alongside Ray from 1956-1987. After they no longer farmed, she was employed at Riverside market which later became Bi-Lo supermarket, retiring with ten years of service. Some of Aida's hobbies included playing softball in her younger years, hunting, fishing, knitting and playing cards. After her stroke, which left her wheelchair bound, she found a new hobby of coloring in adult coloring books. Aida was also known for her love of westerns and her cat Smoky. Aida was strong-willed and never let her disability stop her from the things she enjoyed the most, which were baking and cooking for everyone that stopped by. Aida especially loved playing Bingo with friends and family. Aida became an advocate member of the Nittany Bible Church where she enjoyed sharing her love and faith with everyone.
Aida dearly loved her family. Those left behind to cherish Aida's memory are her two daughters, Lorrie Slack (Herb) and Missy Crust (Bob), both of Spring Mills; a daughter-in-law, Cindy Lamey Kocher, of Bald Eagle; two nephews who were raised as "sons" by Ray and Aida, Ronald Lamey, of Potters Mills, and Joe Lamey (Sue), of Rebersburg; her half-sister, Dollie Decker (Delbert), of Spring Mills; and a stepsister, Beverly Capperella, of Bellefonte.
