Evelyn 'Lyn' Lambert

Evelyn "Lyn" (Billman) Lambert, 83, of Fort Peck, Mont., went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024, in Billings, Mont.

Evelyn Shirley Billman was born in Allentown, Pa., on Jan. 8, 1941, to Claude and Eleanor (Young) Billman. She married James Lambert on Nov. 9, 1961. They lived in Florida and Pennsylvania before moving to Montana in 1975. In 1979, they purchased a cabin on Fort Peck Reservoir which would become their home for the rest of their lives, having been married for 61 years before Jim's death in 2022.

Evelyn was a great cook, an excellent hunter and enjoyed fishing, mainly for perch. She also enjoyed her yard and garden, her animals, and spending time with her family, and playing games. She looked forward to friends from Pennsylvania who would travel out to hunt each fall, when she would house them and cook amazing meals.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jim; brothers John, Tom, Donald, and Claude "Snuffy" Billman; sisters Betty Harris and Nancy Klotz; and lifelong family friend Charlie Hopstad.

Evelyn is survived by her children, sons Rusty (Cheri) Lambert, Great Falls, Mont., and Rod (Deb) Lambert, Fort Peck and daughter Kimberlie (Brian Moore) Lambert, Cody, Wyo.; a brother, James (Tracie) Billman, of Port Saint Lucie, Fla.; grandsons Alan Lambert, Leo (Christina) Hughes, Dylan Lambert and Zane Lambert; and lifelong friends, Carol Butts, Carol Lee and Lori Kurtz.
