Evelyn “Lyn” Lambert, 83, of Fort Peck, Montana went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, November 21, 2024 in Billings, Montana.
Evelyn Shirley Billman was born in Allentown, PA on January 8, 1941, to Claude and Eleanor (Young) Billman. She married James Lambert on November 9, 1961. They lived in Florida and Pennsylvania before moving to Montana in 1975. In 1979, they purchased a cabin on Fort Peck Reservoir which would become their home for the rest of their lives, having been married for 61 years before Jim’s death in 2022.
Evelyn was a great cook, an excellent hunter and enjoyed fishing, mainly for perch. She also enjoyed her yard and garden, her animals, and spending time with her family, and playing games. She looked forward to friends from Pennsylvania who would travel out to hunt each fall, when she would house them and cook amazing meals.
Evelyn is survived by her children, sons: Rusty (Cheri) Lambert, Great Falls, and Rod (Deb) Lambert, Fort Peck, and daughter Kimberlie (Brian Moore) Lambert, Cody, Wyoming; a brother James (Tracie) Billman of Port Saint Lucie, Flordia; grandsons: Alan Lambert, Leo (Christina) Hughes, Dylan Lambert and Zane Lambert; and lifelong friends Carol Butts, Carol Lee, and Lori Kurtz.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Jim; brothers: John, Tom, Donald, and Claude “Snuffy” Billman; sisters Betty Harris and Nancy Klotz, and lifelong family friend Charlie Hopstad.
