Marjorie Isabelle (Linton) Lambert, age 95, passed away Tuesday, February 15, 2005 at home with her six children and many other family members at her side. She was the daughter of John Barrett and Frances Child Linton. Marjorie married Thomas Allan Lambert in the Salt Lake Temple on December 7, 1932. Mom's life was centered around her children, extended family and the Gospel. She enjoyed visiting with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and sharing her love of life and testimony with them. Her life was spent in serving others. She loved her various callings in the church, including, Primary, Young Women, Relief Society, and especially her many years of service in the Salt Lake Temple. She was amazingly imaginative and her hands were always busy creating gifts for others. Visitors often left with a hand-made gift. After her beloved husband's untimely passing, she learned to live independently, and enjoyed being able to live in her home and manage her own personal affairs very successfully. She had the opportunity to visit her children living in California, Japan and Georgia. She was known for her beautiful smile that greeted everyone. Even casual acquaintances were edified by her sweet spirit and commented on her smile. Her concern for others was evident in everything she did. She is survived by her four sons and two daughters: Robert Allan, Howard John (Nancy), Thomas Linton (Jo Ann), St. George, UT; Glen Lionel (Janet), Marjorie Cannegieter (Ron) Georgia and Ann Hansen (Alan); 32 grandchildren; 78 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren.
