Jacqueline Alward Morgan Lamb

Jacqueline Alward Lamb was born in 1923 in Paris, France, where she was raised and educated. Her parents were British subjects, so in June, 1940, with German troops closing in on the capital, they fled to Brittany, where they found a fisherman willing to take them to the island of Guernsey. From there they sailed to England. In London they spent several months under nightly bomb attacks. The family finally repatriated to Canada in late 1940. A year long stay with family in New Brunswick first, then a move to Montreal where Jacqueline enrolled in business school. She was first employed at the Aluminum Company of Canada, then a position was offered with the mission in the French Embassy in Washington, D.C. While working at the French Embassy, Jacqueline met her future husband, Knox Lamb, an Army Air Corps Major, recently returned from Burma. Mr. Lamb, originally from Batesville, Mississippi, and trained as a lawyer, was sent to Germany as a prosecuting attorney for the wartime crimes trials held in Nuremberg. They were married in Paris in 1947. Several years residence in Germany followed. Two children were born there, Alan and Corinne. Knox joined the Foreign Service in 1956. A posting in Barbados as American Consul for three years was followed by two years in Brisbane, Australia. Mandatory retirement came in 1962. Denver was finally selected as home base. Jackie, as she was popularly called, joined the Institute of International Education (I.I.E.) in Denver where she remained for many years enjoying a long and happy association with many close friends while there. During and after her tenure at the I.I.E., Jackie was fortunate to be able to travel extensively throughout the world. Jacqueline is survived by her son, Alan Lamb and his wife Margarita Kryazheva of Rochester, NY, and two grandchildren, Brian Lamb of Twentynine Palms, CA and Ariadna Kryazheva of Bridgeport, CT; and by her daughter, Corinne Lamb Ablin, her husband Yury Ablin of Englewood, CO and one grandchild, Hannah Ablin of Englewood, CO; and one great-grandchild, Aiden Lamb.
