BARBARA LAMBERT Obituary

BARBARA LEE LAMBERT Barbara Lee Lambert, 82, of Council, Idaho passed away peacefully on July 17, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. Barbara was born on April 25, 1942, to Perry Badgley and Rowena Armstrong in Van Nuy's, California. After Barbara graduated high school at Oakland Technical, she went on to study at the College of Hard Knocks. She had a love for many things, which led to many hobbies. Horses always had a special place in her life. She was also very proud of the fact that she had a chance to work at Lin-Kirk on the original computers. Something she let her family know all the time. Barbara was predeceased by her father Perry, Mother Rowena, and Stepfather Button. She is survived by her husband Dale Lambert; sons Ted Mendonca, Mike Hoptry; daughters Tracy Mendonca, Kris Mendonca; sister Linda Armstrong and brother Ross; step-daughters Kandi and Kristi; daughter-in-law Cyndi Hoptry; grandchildren Ashely Mendonca, Justin Reinke, Toni Holt, Julian and Lacie, Mikey Balzarni, Ethan and Austin Hoptry; and great-grandchildren Tracen and Brooklyn Holt. Her ashes will be spread on the Teton Mountains where she can fly free as it was her wish.

Mom i miss you so much. I know your not suffering anymore. And I keep telling myself that. But I feel my heart has been ripped out. I did my best to help you through your time left on this earth. I love you so much.

Grandma... There are no words to say how much your passing has effected me. How much i miss you already and how i wish i could hug you one more time. You were a light in a very dark tunnel of darkness. You were the rock that held everyone together. We all miss you terribly and there is so much more i want to say but i can't find the words to do so. I will always keep the promise i made to you that day. I'm sure you are up there with everyone who has passed before you, riding horses, growing your garden and so much more. I love you grandma forever and always and i look towards the sky more often now in hopes of a sign that your watching over me. I see white butterflies and hope its your spirt just saying hello. I see horses and know its you in some way saying your okay and happy. I love and miss you dearly

Dale, I was there at the very beginning when you two met, it was a lot of fun and we have a lot of fond memories to share. Best of all, I was able to meet all of her four children and became friends with three of them, probably more like family. My heart is full because of the fact that I was able to know. Barb, I will greatly miss her as I know you already do. Broken heart seldom mend. However, they tend to not hurt quite so much after time, I hope this is true for you.
We will all miss her very much, she is no longer dealing with the health issues that she had but instead is writing that stallion in heaven. She is free now, you should feel good about that. I love you much, and I want you to take care of yourself. I will stay in touch.

Your Daughter Tracy
