Obituary of Lonny Harry Lamberty

   Lonny Harry Lamberty was born in the Nipawin Hospital.  He grew up in the White Fox, Garrick and Choiceland area with his brother and sister, doing the usual school activities.  When in Garrick, Lonny’s very best friend at 4 and 5, was Keith Almen.  Together they put many miles on their tricycles, wearing the front tire down to the wire.  Then when we moved to Choiceland his best friend Bob Clark and Lonny graduated to ski Doo’s, spending many hours together, some of those hours were on repairing machines that they hoped wouldn’t break down and that dad and mom wouldn’t find out about.  Lonny was a part of the Air Cadet’s and later he became a volunteer fire fighter.

   After high school, Lonny took off to Alberta like a lot of young guys, but came back to be with his son Matthew and worked for the R.M. of Torch River.  Later He and Matthew moved to Flin Flon, MB, where he worked in the mine.  It was in Flin Flon that he met Valerie MacKinnon and they started a life together.  They worked various jobs, one being at Fats Camps for Kim and Eda Wilburn and then they moved back to Prince Albert, SK.   There he drove trucks for Ruszkowski Enterprises Inc., hauling gravel in summer and logs in winter to many places in Saskatchewan and Alberta – jobs he enjoyed – even if he did grumble.

   A visit to the Doctor in September 2025 brought his working to an end when he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.  During this time Kerri and Connie did many good things for Lonny in the hospital and at home.  Those two always made his day as they would bundle him up in a jacket, toque and blankets and take him out for a smoke or two and he’d be happy.  Things the family is forever thankful for.  He fought the cancer from September 2025 to February 5, 2026, when he lost the battle.

   Left to treasure his memory is his son Matthew (Sheena) Lamberty; his partner of 34+ years, Valerie MacKinnon, Val’s daughter, Kerrie Laidlaw and Kerri’s son Gunner Duthie, Val’s son Johnnie Laidlaw; Parents Harry and Violet Lamberty; brother Neil (Celeste) and sister Connie (Dave) Gregoryk; 5 nieces and nephews, 11 great nieces and nephews; many cousins and friends.  Lonny will be laid to rest with his Grandpa Clarence F. Lamberty in the White Fox Cemetery.

 

Rest in Peace Lonny.

 

   The family would like to thank everyone for the many kindnesses shown to us.
