Lambert Young Webb, 84, of Pleasureville, passed away on Monday, December 28 surrounded by his family. He was born in September of 1936 to the late Nora J. and Thomas H. Webb in Manchester, Kentucky. He graduated from Clay County High School in 1955, and received a bachelors and masters degree in education from Eastern Kentucky University.

His adventurous spirit, unfaltering generosity, and affable nature were some of Lambert’s best qualities that left a lasting impact on all who knew and loved him.
Lambert was preceded in death by his parents and brother Albert Webb.

The family would like to thank close friend, Johnathan Snider, as well as the healthcare workers and first responders who assisted in caring for Lambert with such great kindness.
