Alberta M. Lampman, 99, of Waterloo, died Friday, June 2, 2023, at Wellspring Living of Friendship Village in Waterloo.

She was born February 17, 1924, in Huron, South Dakota, the daughter of Albert and Bertha Lillge Bruner. She graduated from Waterloo East High School in 1942. She was employed through the years at New York Fashion, Penny's, Sears, and the Paramount Theatre.

Alberta married Marvin E. Lampman on March 22, 1946, in Waterloo; he preceded her in death on August 29, 2011.

Mrs. Lampman liked camping, reading, board games, and cards. Alberta loved watching the birds, rabbits, and squirrels outside of her window and this became a favorite hobby of hers. Alberta also liked to do fill-in crossword puzzles and to read Readers Digest and People magazines and would never miss a game of Bingo. Alberta had a sweet tooth and never passed on her dessert.

She spent her winters in Florida with family. She loved her family, her two sons and their two wives, her grandchildren and their spouses and was so proud of how her grandchildren grew into wonderful adults. Alberta's great-grandsons were the apple of her eye. She always had a smile on her face and everyone adored her. She always had a listening ear and a comforting shoulder.

She was a member of Immanuel Presbyterian Church (now Unity Presbyterian) in Waterloo since 1949, where she was active in Seekers Circle, was a deacon, and kept the prayer chain moving. She was a den mother for the Boy Scouts for many years and volunteered at the Red Cross through church.

Alberta is survived by her two sons, Charles M. (Nancy) Lampman of Canton, GA, and Steven D. (Amy) Lampman of Waterloo; four grandchildren, Amy M. (Mark) Loiselle, Julie A. (Scott) Stearsman, Brian S. (Josh) Lampman, and Shelly A. (Thomas) Frein; and six great-grandsons, Alexander Schremser, Ryan Stearsman, Caden Loiselle, Samuel Stearsman, Ames Frein, and Lanning Frein.

She was preceded in death by her parents and husband.
