LEESBURG, FL - Cecile (Laplume) Lambert 102, died peacefully on August 12, 2017 at home. She was the wife of the late Bernard Lambert. After many years of being a snowbird, she became a permanent resident of Leesburg, FL earlier this year.
Born in Woonsocket, she was one of the twelve children of the late Wilfrid and Marie Louise (Dion) Laplume. Mrs. Lambert started working at the age of thirteen in local area textile mills and did so for many years. She also worked for Amperex as an assembler for sixteen years before her retirement. She enjoyed reading, playing cards, puzzles and anything that kept her mind challenged. Cecile will be remembered for her sharp mind, willingness to learn anything and share her knowledge with others; including making delicious caramel taffy and fudge. She was a parishioner of All Saints Church in Woonsocket for many years.
She will be sadly missed by her son Bernard and his wife Yvette, her daughter Rita Moritz and her husband Merle, six grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by all her eleven siblings.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 10 AM in All Saints Church, 323 Rathbun St. Woonsocket, RI. Burial will be private.
