PACK, Lambert “Murray”

LAMBERT MURRAY PACK (November 28, 1936 – January 4, 2026 ) (Lambert) Murray Pack, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 4, at the age of 89.
Murray was born on November 28, 1936 in Sudbury, Ontario, to Myrza and Mabel Pack.
He married (Alice) Lavonne Shaw on October 11, 1957, and they were sealed for time and eternity at the Cardston, Alberta Temple on June 8, 2010. Their life adventure took them and the growing family to Salt Lake City and the University of Utah, for a degree in Electrical Engineering. Edmonton where he worked as an X-Ray tech and in management with Picker X-Ray for over 20 years before returning to farming and moving to Etna where he also started his own X-Ray Inspection service travelling across the province with Lavonne doing the invoicing from home. Murray and Lavonne moved back to Raymond building their present home in 2006, a homecoming to their shared childhood as proud members of the Raymond High School class of 1955.
Throughout his life, Murray was known for his great integrity, attention to detail, and focusing on completing the job before him the right way. When Murray determined he was going to do something, or accepted an assignment, it was going to be done and done to standard. That applied to Home Teaching, preparing for and attending the Temple, pouring a foundation, constructing a home or barn, wiring a house, certifying x-ray equipment, maintaining a car, planting trees on a bare acreage, installing sprinklers and pumps or preparing for a drive in the winter. And if a son, daughter or son in law showed up in the winter without a shovel, and proper emergency equipment in the vehicle…well that was not good.
Murray is survived by Lavonne; his children Kevin (Loren), Chauna (Rick), Darren (Cory) and Monte (Shaunlee); 13 grandchildren; and 10 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents Myrza and Mabel and brothers Alan and Dalen. He is also survived by brothers Ron, Gary, Devar and little sister Julie.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 9 at 2:00 p.m. in Raymond, Alberta, at the Westridge Chapel 221 North 400 West, Raymond. Interment will follow at Raymond Cemetery. Friends and family are invited to attend and celebrate a life well lived.
