Fay Ilene Lambert

Fay Lambert, 64, passed away Saturday, January 4, 2025, at McLeod Seacoast Hospital in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina after spending the day with her immediate family.

She was born September 8, 1960, in York, Pennsylvania to Garland Chapman and Joan Fisher. In 1982 she and her husband Don Lambert had a daughter, Jessica. 

One of five siblings, there is no question where Fay got her fiery personality. With an equally hard-headed twin sister and two rambunctious older brothers, Fay’s defiant nature was practically guaranteed the day she was born. Though the family will attest to that stubbornness being genetic, it was especially prevalent in Fay.

A loving grandmother to her two grandchildren, Thomas and Evangeline, many may picture her as a typical crocheting grandma. Such was not the case with Fay Lambert. Instead, she spent her time riding motorcycles and donning leather jackets. It became a tradition for her Christmas gifts to be Harley Davidson memorabilia. 

Even with her spunk, her love for her family was never in question. In 2023, Fay moved to a small house in Myrtle Beach to be with her twin sister, Kay. She would reside here until her passing. Her home was adorned with pictures of her closest family, gifts, and mementos of their achievements lining every wall. Ever a of lover of nature, Fay hand-built her back patio so that she could enjoy South Carolina’s environment. Even in retirement, she couldn’t sit still. Her motorcycle always sat parked just outside her door, ready for a ride at any moment.

Fay was preceded in death by her father Garland Chapman, mother Joan Fisher, and brother Francis Chapman.

She is survived by her sisters Karen Wilson and Kay Yeager, brother James Chapman, daughter Jessica Brooks, and grandchildren Thomas Morehead and Evangeline Brooks.

Filled with a passion for life, Fay was a loving daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
