Margaret Meade Lambert

Margaret Meade Lambert passed away July 14, 2017 at her Dallas home surrounded by family. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother and grandmother, a loyal friend and devout Catholic. She was a strong woman with a quick wit who loved to trade stories with her friends and family.

Margaret was born December 4, 1932 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania to Margaret and Knighton Meade. She attended Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. and Loyola Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York. As a young professional, she lived and worked in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she met her husband, Robert G. Lambert of Ripon, Wisconsin. They married April 8, 1961 in Uniontown, and the early years of their marriage included periods in Pittsburgh; Mt. Vernon, Ohio; and Houston, Texas. During this time, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, who would become the focus of her life from then on.

Margaret relocated with her family in 1975 to Dallas, Texas, the city that would remain her home for the rest of her life. In Dallas, she was active in her children’s schooling and extracurricular activities at St. Rita Catholic School, Jesuit College Prep and Ursuline Academy. In her free time, she enjoyed tennis and golf at Northwood Club. She also served as a volunteer at St. Mary of Carmel School, where she loved sharing her passion for reading with the young students. She also served as a Eucharistic Minister to the Catholic community in Dallas for many years.

She is survived by her husband, Robert Lambert of Dallas, her three children, also of Dallas, John Lambert, Thomas Lambert and wife Nina, and Jane Lastelick, as well as two grandchildren, Luke and Ryan Lastelick, and three siblings, James C. Meade and Knighton T. Meade of Oklahoma City, OK, and her sister, Catharine Gregware of New Rochelle, NY.
