Anne Elizabeth (Betty) Lambly
1925-2021
With sadness at her passing, but joy at her longevity, the family of
Anne Elizabeth (Betty) Lambly announces her passing on January 12 at
her Monarch Hall Residence with her daughter Anne by her side. She was
just one month shy of her 96th birthday. Betty
was born Feb. 12, 1925, in Niagara Falls, ON, the daughter of William
and Elizabeth Granville. Her Scots heritage was a vital and enduring
part of her life. Immediately after her High School
graduation, she enlisted as an Air Woman with the RCAF and was posted
to Mountain View Air Base, Ontario, for the duration. She was very
proud to have served and her framed Service medals were always on
display, thanks to her son-in-law Robert Bourque.
Immediately after the war she married Douglas Charles Lambly and spent
the next decades raising their family of five children. Betty became
well known in her Riverview neighbourhood for her beautiful gardens
and her friendship to many. Her front verandah and kitchen table were
the gathering places where friends and family enjoyed many a cup of
tea. Her 90th birthday was a huge occasion for
celebration with everyone she held dear.
She is predeceased by her husband Douglas, her daughter
Judith Bates, and grandsons Alex Bates and Jesse Bates. Mum is
lovingly remembered by her children, Dorothy (Richard) Gabbey,
Trenton, ON, Peter (Judith) Lambly, Halifax, NS, Russell Lambly
(Miramichi) , Anne (Robert) Somers, Riverview, NB, and by
Lisa Burrell and her daughters Cassidy and Kennedy, who held a special
place in her heart. She will always be remembered fondly by Jim
Stevenson, John Bates, Steven Somers and LeeAnn Lambly.
Betty was the beloved Nana of seven grandchildren, Jason
Stevenson, Victoria, BC, Elizabeth Stevenson, Vancouver, BC, Douglas
(Maggie) Stevenson, Quinte West, ON, Drew Somers, Riverview, NB, Derek
(Kelsey) Somers, Upper Coverdale, NB, and Jesse and Alex Bates. It was
her joy to be great grandmother (G-Nana) to Hudson Somers and Ellie,
Louis and Sam Stevenson.
A heartfelt Thank You goes out to her caregivers at Monarch
Hall Residence for their friendship, care and compassion to Mum over
these last few years.
Arrangements are in the care of Cobb’s Funeral Home
and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd., Riverview (869-2007). There
is no visitation. A private family memorial will be held at a later
date. For those who wish, a donation in Betty’s memory may
be made to St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Riverview, NB, The
Moncton Hospital, or any other charity.
