Passed away peacefully at Mariposa House Hospice, Severn on Sunday November 5th, 2023, at the age of 70.
Beloved wife of Norman Lambert for 49 years. Proud and loving mother of Joshua Lambert and Mary Lambert (Bill Brierley). Predeceased by her parents Albert and Marjorie (nee Udell) Pace. Dear sister of Ken Pace (Carol), Don Pace, Darlene Graham (Bob), and Wayne Pace. Aunt & Great Aunt to a loving multitude. While her family was always the most important aspect of Marlene’s life, she also managed to connect with and help others through her work.
After years as a medical receptionist in multiple offices in Orillia, she returned to school and began her second career as a Counsellor/Manager at Northern Lights in Orillia and The Career Centre in Barrie. Marlene was always focused on helping people in any way she could and her positive impact on everyone she met will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends.
In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be held in the spring.
The family wishes to express their immense gratitude to Mariposa House Hospice, their staff and volunteers. Their grace and compassion know no bounds, and as an expression of sympathy memorial donations may be made to Mariposa House, through the Simcoe Funeral Home, 38 James Street E., Orillia (705) 327 0221.
