HOT SPRINGS - Clara Sue "Susie" Shrum Lambert, 80, of Hot Springs, peacefully passed, August 31, 2015, from Alzheimer's. An Arkansas farm girl at heart, from Marked Tree, Arkansas, she eclipsed expectations of achievement, in her lifetime, for a woman from her generation. She was known to all as "Susie" and to her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids as "Captain Funny." (She loved that). She was an accomplished writer/photo journalist in Arkansas, at the Marked Tree Tribune, and a successful commercial pilot and flight instructor of her own flight school in Batesville, Mississippi. She was also the first woman to be awarded Flight Instructor of the Year in Mississippi history.
