July 17, 1930 – November 3, 2019
It is with great sadness that we announce that Vern Lambert
of Cochrane passed away at home, at the age of 89 years.
Vern will be forever loved by his family and many friends. He
will always be remembered for his sense of humour, his great passion for all
animals, amazing stories and his incredible gift to remember dates and times.
Vern moved to Cochrane with his family in 1951. Together with his brothers they built many of the homes in the Cochrane area. It was in Cochrane that he met the love of his life, Evelyn Beadle, and they were married in 1953. Ev and Vern lived in a house that they built next to Ev’s parents until they moved to their ranch in the Grand Valley in 1976.
Vern was predeceased by his wife Evelyn Lambert, his father Leroy Lambert, mother Daisy Lambert, brothers Gordon Lambert and Ray Lambert.
A Celebration of Vern’s Life will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church (
128 1 St E, Cochrane, AB T4C 1Z3
) on Friday, November 29, 2019 at 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Cochrane Humane Society.
Arrangements entrusted to Cochrane Country Funeral Home, Florence (Flo) Simpson, Funeral Director. Ph: 403-932-1039.
