Richelle Kirby

On January 4, 2017, Richelle Kirby graduated this life, exchanging a body ravaged by cervical cancer for the embrace of the God she loved so much. Her passing reunited her with her parents, Gene Richins (1927 -1962) and Myrna Ferguson Engle (1934 -1990), her deceased husband, Royal David Lambert (1953 -1999) and close family.

Throughout her fight with cancer, she never waivered her faith. She knew who her Savior was and anticipated being in his arms. Deep in her core of her being, was her rich personal relationship with Christ, which allowed her to touch so many people with her optimism, faith, humor and musical talents.

She was born, May 15, 1960 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gene Richins and Myrna Ferguson Engle.

She was an entrepreneur, personal trainer, yoga instructor, flight attendant, dispatcher, and most of all, a musician. She also had a great love for golfing, softball, fishing and camping.

Mrs. Robin Dees (Tony Wik) of West Valley City, UT, Mrs. Ronda (Robert) Perry of Sandy Valley, NV, and numerous nieces and nephews.
