I’m Tarrah (May) Cantner, Director of Marketing at Lackey Memorial Hospital. While I myself was not born at LMH, my mother and one of my older sisters were. So for me personally, it’s truly a blessing to work at a place that has such a deep connection and history with my own family.
My mother, Mary Sue Aycock May, was born November 7, 1951, at Lackey Memorial Hospital in Forest, Mississippi, to J.W. “Dub” and Mary Aycock. Her physician was Dr. W.C. Jones.
And here’s the part that makes this story even sweeter… 1951 was also the year Lackey Memorial Hospital opened its doors. So later this year, as my mother celebrates her 75th birthday, Lackey Memorial Hospital is celebrating 75 years too.
A few months ago, my mom reminded me of that connection, and honestly, that conversation helped spark the idea that this milestone absolutely deserved to be celebrated in a BIG way. So I guess you could say the theme for this year’s Hospital Week celebration was “birthed” from one little reminder from my mama.
Then almost 18 years after my mother was born at Lackey, life came full circle in another beautiful way. The same physician, Dr. Jones, would deliver my older sister while my father, Freddie May, was serving in the Army in Vietnam. That baby girl was named Tashia.
Stories like this are exactly why Lackey means so much to so many families across generations. For decades, this hospital has been more than a building. It has been the place where life began, prayers were whispered, families were built, and memories were made.
And while we no longer have a labor and delivery wing at LMH, babies don’t know that, of course. 😊 They don’t always wait on transfer plans and timelines. So even now, we still occasionally welcome newborns into the world through our Emergency Department. As always, LMH team members are trained, ready, and available to serve our neighbors the very best we can. And I’m honored every day to watch my coworkers give so much of themselves in caring for others. 💙
