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.

We are so sorry to read that Lyn has passed away. She was always the sweetest neighbor. When we moved our house on to the lot across the road from Lyn and Jim, it wasn’t long and she was knocking on the door with friendship bread to welcome us. We’ve had many, many visits sitting out on her deck through the years. I definitely know of her love for Jesus and that she is with Jim in Heaven. Praying for her family in the coming days. Love, Robin and Jarrell

Lyn was an angel on earth. Fort Peck is where she belonged and she strived to be the best host and friend of her domain. Her family, friends and the lake will not be the same without her. She will now get to love and wait on Jim again! And maybe him and Charlie will let her join the conversation 😀
