Mary Louise (Hagerman) Lambley was born February 8, 1938 to Lawrence and D. Lillian Hagerman in Glenrock Wyoming. Mary's angel wings came to her on November 9, 2015 at the Sanford Heart Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD after a very brief illness, at the age of 77 with her family at her side. Mary was the 3rd child of her family. She received her education in Ainsworth Nebraska, graduating with the class of 1956. She was a true Bulldog fan all of her life. Mary married Herris Lambley who was a classmate since 3rd grade on May 26, 1957 at the United Methodist Church in Ainsworth, Ne. This union brought forth 3 children, Jolene, Donivan and Karen. After graduation, Mary taught country school in Brown County, Nebraska. She lived with a family and she told us that the lady made her a sack lunch with cold heart sandwiches. They made their home in Ainsworth for several years where she worked as a clerk in the Treasurer's office. Then moved to Keya Paha Co to an Uncles Ranch where Mary worked side by side with Herris to raise their children, milked cows, raised chickens and a huge garden that kept their family fed. In 1967 the family moved to Burke where they purchased the Burke Livestock Auction. Mary took care of hundreds of customers handing over their checks to them. One of her quotes "do you want to talk to the man in charge or the woman who knows what's going on"! She made countless pies and wonderful meals. Many friends came just to have a piece of Mary's pie. Mary retired after 47 years but not really, she just couldn't leave her spot in the office. She still helped LaNeal manage the office each Saturday. She worked diligently to keep up with the times of technology and mastered the computer and loved her iPad. Throughout her life Mary was a Girl Scout leader, Bethel guardian of Jobs daughters, a member of the United Methodist Church where she taught Sunday school and Bible school, Treasurer of UMW, member of the OES having served as Worthy Matron and several other offices, one of which was Grand Electa and she was a charter member of Rosebud Rancherettes (Cowbelles). Mary loved playing cards, reading and crocheting afghans for grandkids. Times she enjoyed the most were watching her kids and grandkids in all their activities. Baseball and softball was her summer pastime. If you didn't see her you could usually hear her. She was always fair but liked her team to win. What a blessing her grandkids were to her and the great grandkids stole her heart. She was looking forward to the arrival of a great granddaughter (Baby Martin) due close to her next birthday. She had so much love for them; each one had their own special place in her life. She was a mom to so many young people, she just loved kids. She was so happy that her family all lived so close to her. She was so profoundly happy this past summer when her family of Hagerman's got together for a family reunion at the Missouri River. Her sisters Carol and Linda, her nieces, nephews and families reunited after so many years.
