Lois Lambert passed away peacefully on September 10, 2011, at the age of 101, in the presence of her grandson Tom. Lois was the beloved wife of the late T.C. (Buck) Lambert and the mother of the late W.B. (Bill) Lambert.

Born June 13, 1910 in Cardston, AB, Lois attended school in Cardston and then moved to Nelson, BC for business college. In Nelson she met and fell in love with Buck; they married in 1938. Their only child Bill was born in 1940. In 1963 Lois and Buck bought the real estate business that became Lambert Realty Ltd. In 1965 Lois became the first female Notary Public in the Nelson District. In 1970 she became the only woman on the Notaries Public Board of Directors.

In the mid 1970s, Buck and Lois retired, sold Lambert Realty, and enjoyed their lakefront home on Kootenay Lake.

When Buck became ill in the mid 1990s they moved to Lethbridge to be close to Bill and Esther, Lois' two sisters, and her extended family.

Lois was predeceased by her parents, Lenore and Wilmer Sheffield, and all of her siblings; her husband Buck in 1996; and her son Bill in 2006. For the past few years, Lois has made her home at Edith Cavell Nursing Home, where she received exemplary care.
