Obituary
Ima Cleo Lambert, born on July 11, 1936, in Morgan County, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 12, 2024, in Trenton, Michigan, at the age of 88.
Ima dedicated 40 years of her life to Kroger, from where she retired with a legacy of hard work and commitment. She was a devoted volunteer for the Kentuckians of Michigan and a member of the Eagles Club of Flat Rock, where she made many lasting friendships.
Ima’s greatest joy was her family. She cherished every moment spent with them and was known for her love of gardening, both flowers and vegetables. She found peace in walking and mowing her grass, activities that kept her close to nature. Her appreciation for bluegrass music and her enduring independence were evident as she proudly drove her pickup truck well into her later years.
She was preceded in death by her beloved spouse, Asa Lambert, her parents, John and Marjorie Conley, two brothers, and four sisters.
Ima leaves behind a loving family: her children, Connie (Keith) Turpin and Audie (Lisa) Lambert; her grandchildren, Amy (Eric) Cronin, Brittany Lambert, Ryan Lambert (Blake Taylor), and Kaitlin Turpin (Brandon Puckett); and her great-grandchildren, Kole and Elle Nalbach. She is also survived by her sister, Virginia Lambert, who will miss her dearly, along with many close friends and extended family members.
Ima Cleo Lambert will be remembered for her generous spirit, her dedication to her community, and the love she had for her family. Her warmth and kindness touched many lives, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
