BERTHA MABEL LAMBERT
July 14, 1929 - April 29, 2004
Bertha passed away on April 29th at the age of 74. She was born and raised in Fort Vermillion by her parents Edwin and Jeni Johnson. She was the eldest of three children. Bertha married Henry Lambert of Fort Vermillion in 1949. They had five children Angeline, Ronnie, Karen, Keith and Loretta. Bertha moved to Peace River in 1946 where she worked and raised their family. Bertha worked as a waitress for many years and then later at IGA. Her husband Henry and her sisters Martha Grey and Dorothy Bloome predeceased Bertha. Bertha has left behind many friends and family. She leaves behind children Angeline (Erwin) Hawryliu of Prince George B.C., Ronnie Lambert of Peace River AB, Karen Lambert of Peace River, AB, Keith (Shelly) Lambert of Grande Prairie AB, Loretta (Denis) Denison of Berwyn AB. Grandchildren Edward and Wanda Hawryliu; Brock Jr. and Tayler Ashby; Dustin Lambert, Brandy Rice and Kent Lambert; Lincolin and Sarah Denison; Cory Pelchat; Robert, Randi and Skyler Denison; Mathew and Courtney Cartwright. Great-granddaughter Allie Rice. Bertha was called grandma to many other children that new her. Bertha was also well known and liked by all who knew her. She loved animals and collected old bread and scraps for the local ravens (we’re sure she taught one to say ‘Hello’). Her home was full of birds and cats. Bertha enjoyed the simple things in life such as canning and cooking for her family and anyone else who enjoyed good food with good conversation. Her door was always open to anyone needing a place to stay or just a good meal. Bertha was baptized one of Jehovah’s witnesses. She loved to talk about the bible and looked forward to the New System under Jehovah God’s arrangement. The scriptures make this promise “Your dead ones will live... they will rise up.” The bible also says, “The righteous themselves will possess the earth and will reside forever upon it.” Isaiah 26:19, Psalm 37:29. Christ himself said, “Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” John 5:28, 29 & Acts 24:15. Funeral Services for the late Bertha Lambert were held May 4, 2004 at 2:00 pm from the Chapel of Memories Funeral Chapel, Peace River with Don Maddox officiating. Organist Marion Weber. Active Pallbearers Danny Denison, Laurie Denison, Rich Guy, Skyler Knott, Harvey Lambert, Dustin Lambert. Interment followed at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Peace River. Bertha will be greatly missed by those who loved her and supported her through her years of illness. She would want us to remember the joyous times she shared and not her death. Funeral Arrangements were under the direction of the Chapel of Memories, Peace River.
