Dorothy was my next door neighbor or 17 years. My two brothers and I trully consider her our guardian angel. Her being a nurse came in very handy for many years in our household.She was peace, stability, and caring, for the three of us.
I also fondly remember her endless help at St.John of the Cross school where we attended. Hearing her piano after school was a constant. Baldwin Road was a wonderful place to grow up because of this sweet lady.
Prayers and warm wishes go out to her family. Thanks for the memories :) Laura (Gaughen) Hatfield

Mrs Lambert taught me how to play the piano when I attended school at St John of the Cross in the 70's. A very sweet lady, I remember her well. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. God Bless.

To all of the Lambert family, my prayers and thoughts are with you during your time of loss. Dorothy Lambert was a mother and friend to me for several years. Dorothy will always hold a very special place in my heart as the most genuine, loving and caring woman I've ever known. She was committed to her husband, children and God every day of her life. Although she will be missed by her family and friends, I can see her now, with Our Lord on one side and her husband, Richard, on the other, smiling with that wonderful smile of hers.
May she bring joy to all of her loved ones in in Heaven, as much as she did here with us.
With love to you Dorothy and the entire Lambert family,
