Lazetta Lamphear, 90 of Albany passed away Thursday at Regency Albany with family present.
She was the third child born to parents Asa and Anna Metcalf in Round Lake, Wis., on Leap Year, 1916. Her family moved to Stone Lake, Wis., where she attended school.
During World War II, she worked in St. Paul, Minn., in the factories. Returning to Stone Lake, she worked in a grocery store until her future husband, Clifford Lamphear, returned from the European front in 1946. They married June 15, 1946, and moved to a farm in Stanberry, Wis. In 1949, they purchased a dairy farm in the Stone Lake area. Lazetta worked alongside her husband on the farm and cared for their four children. In 1961, the family sold the farm and moved to Sweet Home.
She enjoyed traveling all over the West coast with her husband on his job for Bonneville Power. She lived outside Sweet Home on a small farm until the passing of her husband in 1992, when she moved to Albany to be closer to her daughters.
Lazetta enjoyed family, sewing, gardening, needlework, canning and traveling. She also enjoyed camping until recently when her health would not permit it.
She is survived by daughters Shirley Wodtli and spouse Gerald of Pasco, Wash., Debby Kliever and spouse Kerry of Dallas, and Nancy Hansen of Albany; siblings Marcella Shoquist of Spooner, Wis., Bessie Jarvis of Stone Lake, Floyd Metcalf of Hayward, Wis., and Sarah Metcalf of Hayward; grandchildren Jeremy Wodtli and spouse Shari of Pasco, Jill Little and spouse Eric of Pasco, Halley Kliever of Hillsboro, Mike Kliever of Jefferson, Michael Faber and spouse Shannon of Gladstone, Michelle Hansen of Waldport, James Hansen of Albany and Justin Hansen of Albany; and nine great-grandchildren.
Lazetta was preceded in death by her spouse, Clifford, in 1992; daughter Helen Faber in 2001; both parents; sisters Helen Metcalf and Hazel Slayton; and brother Marshall Metcalf. "We will all miss her very much, but we know she is in a better place."
A graveside memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, at Liberty Cemetery in Sweet Home.
