WOODLAND- Jean (Lambert) Schwarting, aged 84, of Woodland, passed away early 
Monday morning, January 29, 2007.

Jean and her twin brother, Jack, were born in Blanchard, on December 9, 1922 to 
Clare and Elner (Nelson) Lambert, and were joined later by their brother, 
Robert and sister, Claire.

Jean grew up in Lake Odessa and graduated from Lake Odessa High School in 1941.

She married Verdan Stowell in 1945.

Jean and Verdon had four daughters; twins, Mary and Margaret, Linda and Ann.

Following Verdon’s death, Jean married Frank Schwarting in November, 1956. 
Together they had 42 years of friendship and marriage.

Jean was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, an amazing cook, 
and skilled seamstress. She made many beautiful dolls and bears in her later 
years.

Her love of gardening and the outdoors lead her on many long walks with an 
appreciation for nature and bird watching.

Jean and Frank even raised a fawn one spring.

She had been a member of the Woodland United Methodist Church.

Jean’s fun-loving spirit and sense of humor will be sadly missed by all who 
knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clare and Elner Lambert; husbands, 
Verdan Stowell and Frank Schwarting; twin brother, Jack Lambert; sister, Claire 
Lambert; and granddaughter Laura McDowell.

Jean is survived by her daughters, Mary Kopfenstein, Marg (Ross) McDowell, 
Linda (Albern) Olson, and Ann DeHoog; eight grandchildren; six great 
grandchildren; brother, Robert (Pat) Lambert and sister-in-law, Doris Lambert.

Visitation with the family will be held at the Woodland United Methodist Church 
on Monday, February 12, 2007 beginning at 10:00 A.M. with a Memorial Service 
following at 11:00 A.M.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Woodland United Methodist Church or 
the Lakewood Community Ambulance.

Arrangements were made by the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.
