LAMPERD, Althea Ann lamperd

Althea passed away peacefully into the arms of her loving Saviour, Jesus, on Saturday, November 29, 2025, in London, Ontario, in her 96th year. Beloved wife of the late Frank Lamperd (2010) of 56 years. Loving mother of Belinda Verkaik (Henk) , Sylvia Balch (Jeff) and Cynthia Seabrook (Chris). Adored grandmother of Derrick Verkaik, Angela Lockyer, Kimberly Siemens, Brittany Charbonneau, Stephanie Page, Caleb Seabrook, Candace Seabrook and spouses. Precious great-grandmother of 11 great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her loving siblings Marion Klassen (2025) and Graham Alford (1984).

Our sweet Mom is now with Jesus, Dad, and all the family and friends that have gone before her. It has been a long, lingering, yet relatively peaceful journey these past 10 years as she lived in the nursing home. Always greeting everyone with a sweet smile, gentle encouragement, and always asking if they went to church. If they answered “No” to church, she would say, “Let me tell you about my Jesus”. She would often quote scripture, and we would read the Bible to her and play hymns, which comforted her and gave her such peace.

Verses that Mom loved and recited often while she faithfully served Jesus that brought so much peace in her life:

John 3:16

Isaiah 41:10

Proverbs 3:5-6

Psalms 23

“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.” (Billy Graham)

Special thanks to all who uplifted Mom in prayer and visited while she was at Westmount Gardens Long Term Care. Thank you to the many staff at Westmount Gardens who kindly cared for Mom over the past 10 years.

There will be a private family memorial.
