Evelyn Laurie Lambert, 92, a resident of Silver City, NM entered eternal rest on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City. She was born on February 24, 1933 to her parents, Edmund and Laurie (La Croix) Wilson in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
Evelyn was a devoted wife of 69 years, homemaker, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She had an intense love for children that started when she raised Harvey, her sister Barbara's son. She had three biological children and adopted another three. Evelyn was unable to stop there so she became a foster mother of over 100 children in and from multiple states.
Her house was always an open space for all the children of the neighborhood. Not a week went by when there wasn't a house full of friends and relatives staying. She spent years preparing and delivering food for families in need.
Children were not the only passion in Evelyn's life, she also loved animals. There was never a point in her life when she didn't have less than three dogs in her home. Cats, cows, horses, chickens, and goats, none of them were excluded from her love.
