Obituary for Jeffrey Joseph Lambie (1956-2025)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jeffrey “Jeff” Lambie, age 68, on July 12th, 2025 in Grafton, Wisconsin, following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family and dog, Tuffy, in his final moments.

Born on December 10th, 1956 in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, Jeff was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was married to his beloved wife, Karen Lambie (DeBruin), for 48 years, and together they built a life rooted in love, family, and community.

A proud father of three children — Jeremy Lambie, Chris Lambie, and Sarah Andreucci — and grandfather of six grandchildren – Madelyn Lambie, Estella Lambie, Layla Lambie, Finnegan Lambie, Wesley Lambie, and Arthur Andreucci. Jeff was a guiding light in their lives, known for his unwavering support, wisdom, and sense of humor. His family was his greatest joy, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

A man of deep Catholic faith, Jeff found great strength and purpose through his relationship with God. He held a special connection to St. Joseph, whom he admired as a model of quiet strength, humility, and dedication to family. His faith was not only a source of personal comfort but also a foundation for how he lived—guided by compassion, responsibility, and service to others.

For over 30 years, Jeff & Karen owned and operated JL Business Interiors, a successful office interiors company in West Bend, Wisconsin. Though not born there, Jeff built a meaningful life in West Bend, proudly raising his family and running a respected local business, forming deep ties to the community he came to call home. His dedication, integrity, and entrepreneurial spirit earned him the admiration of clients, colleagues, and employees. Beyond his professional achievements, Jeff was a passionate volunteer and an active member of the community. He gave generously of his time and energy creating and spearheading various fundraising events for the West Bend Sunrise Rotary Club & the Senior Citizens Activities Center in West Bend. He was always striving to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

He will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, resilience, work ethic, and the selflessness he showed to everyone he met.

Jeff is survived by his wife, Karen, his children, Jeremy (Elizabeth), Chris (Bethany), and Sarah (Zachary), 5 grandchildren, and many extended family members and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Neil & Celesta Lambie, his siblings and their spouses, Florence & Curtis Wade, Gary & Therese Lambie, and Alan & Cheryl Lambie, and his grandchild, Layla Lambie.

A Catholic memorial service will be held on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, at St. Joseph Parish in Grafton, WI including a visitation beginning at 1:30 pm directly followed by a eulogy at 4:15 pm and mass at 4:30 pm.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
