Pamela Leonie Lambert, 93, of New Harbor, passed away peacefully on the morning of July 14, with her loving family by her side. Pamela was born in Cambridge, England on May 19, 1923, to Cecil and Elouise Briggs.
She spent her early years in Kent and Sussex, England. Later, she attended Cheltenham Ladies College in Gloucestershire, and Harper Adams University in Shropshire. While living in Felpham, Sussex, WWII started and she joined the Women’s Land Army.
While she was on holiday with her sister Betty Briggs in Cornwall, she met Blaine Lambert, who was serving in the U.S. Navy. In 1946, she and Blaine were married in New Jersey. They went to Houlton where Blaine built their lovely home. They were happily married for 48 years until Blaine passed away. In 1996, Pamela moved to New Harbor where she loved being by the sea; it reminded her so much of the coast of England.
Pamela was a member of Extension and Garden Clubs, and was a hospital volunteer and Girl Scout leader. She enjoyed gardening, baking, travelling, crafts, crossword puzzles, bird watching, reading, and especially enjoyed family picnics at the cottage on Drew’s Lake.
Pamela was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
