William “Bill” Lambach, 66, passed away on Monday, February 16^th, 2026.  He died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by all his children and other family members with the best treatment that Thomas Memorial Hospital could provide.

Born November 24, 1959, to Ernie and Glenda Lambach (née Williams), Bill was a fun-loving free spirit with a generous heart.  He loved the outdoors, listening to music, traveling with his family, and surprising his parents, then later children or wife, with a new “pet” as often as he could.  Bill worked when he needed to, but was happiest when he was with his family.  Bill was many things to many people – a father, a husband, a son, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, a teacher, a leader, and a coach. Even when (perhaps especially when) he was already overextended, he was the first to volunteer to help when someone was in need.  He touched many lives, and leaves behind a legacy of laughter and love.

Bill will be missed by: his wife, Mary Beth Barroso; his children, Lyn Hale (née Lambach) and husband Tommy, Carl Lambach, Janel Beehner (née Lambach) and husband Tom, Bryen Lambach, Erin Anderson (née Haynie) and husband Paul, and Joe Halstead and wife Meggie; his mother, Glenda Lambach (née Williams); his siblings, Paul Lambach and wife Rosa, Jim Lambach and wife Janice, Ruth McCarthy (née Lambach) and husband Bill, and Martha Collins (née Lambach) and husband Clay; his many grandchildren, nieces, and nephews; and a wide circle of friends and colleagues.

In accordance with Bill’s wishes, rather than a funeral service, a Celebration of Life will be held; Bill requested that no attendees wear black or mourning clothes.  The service will be on Saturday, February 21^st at 12:00pm at Snodgrass Funeral Home in South Charleston, West Virginia, with Pastor Pete Thompson officiating.
