JEAN LABON DYESS LEMBECK

Jean Labon Lembeck (Dyess), our beloved mother, passed away in her sleep on 
April 22, 2024, at the age of 95.

Born on August 21, 1928, in Prentiss, MS, Jean was a devoted wife, mother, 
grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Jean was married for 45 years to her dear 
husband, Dr. William Jacobs Lembeck, who preceded her in death. Jean was an 
active and devoted member of McGuire Methodist Church in West Monroe, Louisiana, 
and a longtime member of First United Methodist Church, Eunice. She was a 1947 
graduate of Baton Rouge High and attended Louisiana State University.

In 2012, she retired from the Eunice Housing Authority after 40 years. Jean was 
passionate about her hobbies of reading, sewing, and baking. She always enjoyed 
cooking meals and baking cakes for her friends and family.

Jean will be deeply missed and her memory will forever live on in the hearts of 
those she loved. She leaves behind a son, Charles Craig Cappo (Paula), a 
daughter, Nancy Lembeck Smith (Greg), nine grandchildren: Dr.Rachel Scott, Sam 
Cappo, Claudia Cappo, Tyler Smith, Hunter Smith, Emily Womack (Cameron), Daisy 
Windham, Gene Sittig, Ben Sittig (Hope) and nine great-grandchildren, her 
sisters, Martha Lemoine and Bobbie Stiglets, her brother Ralph Dyess (Dottie), 
her sister-in-law Carol Lembeck Forshee, and many loved nieces, nephews, 
cousins, and friends.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Dr. William Jacobs Lembeck, her 
parents, Robert Gaston and Hattie Mae Berry Dyess, two sisters, Christine 
Everett, and Agnes Gilbert and four brothers, Vance Dyess, Lavelle Dyess, Troy 
Dyess, Harmon Dyess, her dear Aunt Lucy Berry Terrell and cousin, Jackie Terrell 
Lockwood.

Our heartfelt gratitude is extended to her pastor, Rev. Shawn Hornsby, the staff 
of St. Francis Hospital, The Guest House Rehab Hospital, Serenity Care, Always 
Best Care, and Elara Hospice.

A memorial service to honor and celebrate the life of Jean Labon Lembeck will be 
held on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 1:00 pm at First United Methodist Church, 
Eunice, Louisiana. There will be a visitation with family from 11:00 am until
