Wayne A. Lambert

The following obituary announcement is being shared as a courtesy to the local family and friends of Mr. Lambert's sister, Bonnie Williams. On behalf of the MRC Funeral Home family, we extend our love and sympathy to the family. 

Wayne A. Lambert, born September 6, 1945, died at Winchester Medical Center on June 25, 2024, at the age of 78. Known as “Butch”, most everyone in town knew him because when one is 7 feet tall it’s hard to go unnoticed. Butch loved to chat with people, especially about politics and town gossip. Few knew how much he enjoyed classical music and opera. He enjoyed traveling the world on his computer.

Butch was the son of William C. “Ches” and Evelyn Eckhardt Lambert. He was predeceased by his older brother, Jerry F. Lambert. He is survived by his sister, Bonnie L. Williams of Chesterfield, SC; foster son, Ricky Leizear and his daughter, Caroline, of College Park, MD; nephews, Ches (Maribeth) Williams and sons (Ellison and James) of Gainesville, FL and John Williams of Columbia, SC; sister-in-law, Betty Lambert of Woodstock, VA; and nieces, Dawn L. (Michael) Kavaras of Waynesboro, VA and Kim (Buck) Shrum of Woodstock, VA. The loves of his life were Aaliyah Scott and Leigh Lee Dinges, granddaughters of his friend, Bobbi Jo Dinges.
Graveside services will be held at 10:00am on Wednesday, July 10th, at Sunset View Memorial Gardens.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or a charity of one’s choice.
