Betty Jean Lambert, 71, of Galien, died peacefully Tuesday, January 31, 2023, in the comfort of her family's presence, surrounded by angels.
Her life began September 12, 1951, in Buchanan, Michigan, the second of five children born to Leland and Mary Williams. She married Lewis A. Lambert on June 24, 1967, in Hannibal, Missouri.
Betty loved taking care of the future generations by having her own in-home day care. She loved each child/grandchild as her own and created special bonds with them and their families. Her walls were decorated with special decorations and baked goodies that were shared with family and friends. Betty had an open heart and never said no to a charity that she believed in. She co-founded Christmas for the Less Fortunate (CLF) where she was a member for forty years. She was also a member of the Galien Lions, Outreach International, all church activities, and everything else that her heart believed in.
In what spare time she had, she enjoyed camping at Potato Creek, traveling, especially to Noah's Ark, and ensuring that not only her immediate family but also her extended family enjoyed those experiences. She cherished spending time around the campfire, sharing stories and making memories with those she loved. She loved collecting Noah's Ark figurines, lighthouses, tending to her gardens and watching the birds outside her windows, especially the red cardinals. She will be remembered for her baking, not only for family events, but for all the church bake sales. Her specialties were the apple pies, almond coffee ring, and pecan squares to name a few.
Betty was a great giver, a poor receiver and called everyone around her an angel. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by her husband of fifty-five years Lewis A. Lambert of Galien; daughter, Ann (Jerry) Reneau of Fort Wayne, Indiana; son, Lewis J. (Mary-Margaret) Lambert of Galien; grandchildren, Dakota Lambert, Nancy Lambert, Jayme Reneau, Katie Lambert, Jenna Reneau; sister, Judy (Jim) Foster of Three Oaks; brothers, Allen (Wendy) Williams of Galien, Steve Williams of South Bend; brothers-in-law, Ken Quint of Three Oaks, Jim McClaran of Jacksonville, Florida, Matt Bradley of Buchanan; sisters-in-law, Diane Beadles of Galien, Evelyn (Tim) Freehling of Sturgis; special daughter, Carolyn (Tom) Selby of Fenton, Michigan; special brother, Paul Kennedy of North Carolina; several adopted children and grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
