Born in Burke County, NC on June 23, 1928, she was the daughter of the late F.A. Lambert and Bessie Smith Lambert. Mary lived a Christian life and loved the lord and her family.

She loved music and often traveled with her husband, Falls, to gospel singings.
Her family will miss this mother more than words can express. We have looked to her for love and guidance our entire lives and she has always been there for us. God has received a special angel, and we will be waiting to see her again. Blessed mother, thank you for your life well lived.

Leave a tribute for Mary Lambert Price.
What a lovely, Christian lady Mary Ruth was. Years ago when Gordon and Irina were young, she was so kind to them and so thoughtful. She babysat them once and they never forgot it. I know that she is enjoying a wonderful reunion with Falls, family, and friends. She was a little lady, but I have no doubt she leaves a big hole here on earth. God bless you all.
Mary Ruth was a very kind woman always had a smile and a kind word I use to work with her at Drexel Heritage plant 60 prayers for her family
