Obituary of Hazel S. Lambert
Hazel (Stout) Lambert, 86, of Woburn, passed away on Monday, January 27, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was the beloved wife of Leo Lambert.
Born and raised in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Jacob "Ed" Stout, and the late Olga (Place) Stout. As a young lady, Hazel was a good student and a good athlete, captaining both field hockey and basketball teams.
Hazel and her husband Leo were married for over 62 years. They met while working for General Electric (GE) in Burlington, VT. After a few moves, they came to settle in Woburn in 1966. Hazel worked as an office manager for 18 years in their family business, Landmark Printing in Lowell, MA. She later earned her degree in Human Resources at Newbury College and applied her knowledge in the Human Resources Department at Carleton-Willard Village in Bedford, MA. She retired in 2004 after 15 years of service.
Hazel was an avid knitter. She loved to create and share her original designs, whether it be a wall-hanging, tea cozy, clothing article, purse, etc. She also operated a mail-order knitting supply business, "Hazelcrafts", which included publication of an international monthly newsletter for knitters. Hazel was an active and devoted member of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Woburn where she served on the church council, sang in the choir, played handbells, and organized a knitting ministry. Hazel also worked as a Poll Worker in Woburn for many years. She additionally enjoyed working in her garden and preserving the harvest by pickling, freezing, and jelly-making.
While she really enjoyed her hobbies, the greatest joy in Hazel's life was spending time with her family, especially with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
