Jeffrey Joseph Lambie

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

  Born on Dec. 10, 1956 in Kaukauna, Wis., 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.

  He was 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 more than 30 years, Jeff and Karen owned and operated JL Business Interiors, a successful office interiors company in West Bend, Wis. 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 by creating and spearheading various fundraising events for the West Bend Sunrise Rotary Club and 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), five grandchildren and many extended family members and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents Neil and Celesta Lambie, his siblings and their spouses Florence and Curtis Wade, Gary and Therese Lambie and Alan and Cheryl Lambie and his grandchild Layla Lambie.

  A Catholic memorial service was held on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at St. Joseph Parish in Grafton, Wis., including a visitation beginning at 1:30 p.m. directly followed by a eulogy at 4:15 p.m. and Mass at 4:30 p.m.

  He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
