Carl Dean Lambert

April 9, 1940 — February 2, 2021

Carl Dean Lambert was born April 9, 1940 to Steve and Era Lambert in New Berlin, Alabama. He died peacefully at home February 2, 2021. He was preceded in death by parents, Henry Stephen Lambert and Era Etheridge Crawford Lambert; three brothers, Henry Stephen Lambert, Jr., Smedley Tillman Lambert, and William Buchanan Lambert; three sisters, Julia Lambert Reeder, Janie Lambert, and Fran Lambert Dawson

Survivors who remain to celebrate Mr. Lambert’s life are his wife of almost 62 years, Melba Annette Kittle Lambert; his daughter, Melanie Lambert (Rodney) Stapler; his son, David Carl Lambert; grandson, Stephen Carl (Brianna) Stapler; granddaughter, Monica Lambert (Kane) Collins; great-grandson, Connor Dean Collins; sister, Nell Lambert Cadenhead; brothers, Franklin MacArthur (Barbara) Lambert and Neil Brown (Kathy) Lambert, and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends.

Mr. Lambert finished high school and worked at Southwire 37 years as a mechanic in the Fleet Department. Upon retirement, he enjoyed spending time with his family, gardening, traveling with his wife and talking to anyone who came along. He met the Southwire Breakfast Club on regular basis to catch up and keep up with his former coworkers. Carl came into this world, made the best of every situation, and left it a better place. I’m sure he heard, “Well done, my good and faithful servant” when he stepped into Glory!

Funeral services will be conducted on Saturday, February 6, 2021 at 2P.M. from New Brooklyn Baptist Church with Dr. Billy Godwin, Reverend Adam Teal and Reverend Milford Ballenger officiating. Mr. Lambert will lie in state at the church, prior to the service, from 12 noon until the funeral hour.

Interment will follow in the New Brooklyn Baptist Church Cemetery with following gentlemen serving as pallbearers: Stephen Stapler, Kane Collins, Rob Kittle, Kyle Norman, Jim Johnson and Dick Lambert.
