Edwin Lewis Lamberth, Jr. M.D.

Norfolk - Edwin Lewis Lamberth, Jr., M.D., native of Norfolk, and resident of Mobile, Alabama since 1976 died on May 19, 2018. His parents Edwin Lewis Lamberth, Sr. and Dorothy Smither Lamberth preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife Caroline Spencer Lamberth, sister Donna Lamberth Nash, sons Richard Edwin Lamberth (Kelley) and John Moore Lamberth (Marjorie), grandchildren Caroline Key Lamberth, Elizabeth Lewis Lamberth, and Edwin Fielding Lamberth, his favorite nieces and nephews and their children, his sister-in-law, and other relatives. He graduated from Granby High School in 1960, attended the University of Richmond, and then the University of Virginia Medical School, class of 1967. After medical school and his internship, he joined the Navy as a physician, and served in the Vietnam War as a Lieutenant. After his service, he returned to Norfolk, where he met his wife Caroline on a blind date. In 1976, after a fellowship at Vanderbilt University, he followed his friend Dr. Michael Huddle to Mobile, where they founded Nephrology Associates, which eventually grew to serve Mobile and four other counties in southwest Alabama. For thirty years, he took pride in serving patients in need. His selflessness carried over to his dedication to his community, friends, and family, who loved him for his generosity, and his never-ending commitment to put their needs over those of his own. He loved the University of Virginia, and was a member of the Board of Directors, Medical Alumni Association. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of St. Paul's Episcopal School, where his children and grandchildren have attended. He was devoted to the arts and the medical society statewide and in Mobile. Those who knew him will remember him for his outrageously loud and infectious laugh, his ability to fix just about anything, his "truth-telling" straight talk, his embellishments, and his willingness to help whenever a neighbor was in need. A memorial service will be held on June 22, 2018 at the Church of the Good Shephard. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the University of Virginia Medical School Foundation, St. Paul's Episcopal School, or the National Kidney Foundation .
