Jeanette touched the lives of many through her kindness and unwavering spirit. Jeanette's years were marked by a commitment to her family and church, and throughout her life, she exhibited a passion for kindness and giving.  She and her husband Jerry spent countless hours as members of Southside Baptist Church in volunteering their time to the church children's nursery, hosting senior luncheons, various singing traveling groups and also missionaries in their home.  She herself also gave her time in serving as a missionary in Panama. Her warmth and openness forged deep connections with family, friends, and even strangers who experienced her gentle nature. When Jeanette and her husband weren't volunteering their time with the church, they enjoyed following their son and grandsons on baseball adventures and taking cruises together, visiting Alaska, the Caribbean and New England. She was a loving and dedicated figure in her family, whose selfless actions and wise guidance will be greatly missed. Jeanette leaves behind cherished memories that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who loved her.

She is survived by her husband, Jerry Lambert; son, Scott Lambert; grandsons, Cody and Gunnar Lambert; daughter-in-law, Regina Lambert; 5 sisters, Rona (Isaac) Moore, Sue (Pat) Brennan, Aldine (Kenny) Browning, Karen (Kurt) Pennington and Donna (Ron) Achille and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
