Mary Lambert, wife of Fall River mayor, dies at 46

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Mary E. (Ciullo) Lambert, the wife of Mayor Edward M. Lambert Jr., died Christmas Day at the age of 46 after a long battle with type 1 diabetes.

City leaders and friends remember her as caring woman who loved children. One city councilman called her an inspiration because she never gave up hope.

Mrs. Lambert, a lifelong resident of Fall River, worked as a child care worker for Head Start and the Community Development Center.

Besides her husband, she leaves a son, James E. Lambert, a sister and four brothers.
