LC Lamberson Obituary
LC was born Oct. 1, 1925, in rural Arkansas, near McCrory. He was the eighth of 10 children born to Rob and Maggie Lamberson. He attended high school in Cotton Plant, Ark., where he played basketball and football.
After high school, LC enlisted in the Army and served in Japan during post-WWII reconstruction. In 1949, he married Doris Yarbrough, and in 1951 the couple moved to San Diego. In February 1952, they drove to Alaska and settled in Seward, where LC worked for Standard Oil. He narrowly survived the 1964 earthquake in Seward as he ran from the Standard Oil docks uphill to safety. The docks slid to the bottom of the bay. In 1965, he and his family moved to Anchorage, and in 1981, he retired from Chevron after 28 years of service. He enjoyed traveling, fishing, golfing and gardening. After living in Alaska for 50 years, he moved to Tucson, Ariz., in 2002.
LC is survived by his wife, Toots (Valera) of Tucson; brother and sister-in-law Morris and Cynthia Lamberson of Conroy, Ark.; sister Monnie Cole of San Diego; son and daughter-in-law Eric and Terry Lamberson of Anchorage; daughter and son-in-law Ann and George Riggs of Palmer; daughter Chellie Miller of Wasilla; 11 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Like most of my uncles I never spent much time with uncle LC. Most of my life he lived in Alaska and I only saw him at major family events as a kid. I think the last time I saw him was at my moms 75th birthday and twenty years before that at my dads funeral. Always seem to be a kind gentle soul. I wish my cousins the best.

I knew LC from the American Legion posat in Anchorage, Ak. I saw him there from time to time. He was always a nice man who never had a bad word for anyone. My heart goes out out to his great family
at this time.
