Born on August 22, 1946, in Little Falls, MN, Jerome was the son of the late Joseph and Helen (Sobania) Lampert. He grew up in Bowlus, where he attended elementary school and later graduated from Royalton High School with the class of 1964. Following his graduation, Jerome proudly served in the United States Navy from 1965 until his honorable discharge in 1967. His time in the Navy took him to the Great Lakes Naval Base for boot camp and later aboard the USS Klondike, where he traveled extensively throughout the Pacific. On August 30, 1968, Jerome joyfully united in marriage to Annette Kroll at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Royalton, MN. Together, they built a loving home near Bowlus. Jerome dedicated his career to Polar Tank and Trailers, where he worked from 1970 until his retirement in 2013. However, his true passion lay in farming, and he took immense pride in hard work. Enjoying the great outdoors, he delighted in hunting, fishing with his grandchildren, and tending to his garden. Jerome was a devoted member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church and the Bowlus American Legion Post #642.
Jerome is survived by his cherished wife of 57 years, Annette Lampert, and their loving children: Daniel (Melissa) Lampert of Bowlus, Duane (Julie) Lampert of Broadview Heights, OH, Jeffrey (Jennifer) Lampert of St. Joseph, Darren (Tanya) Lampert of Bowlus, Christopher Lampert of Bowlus, Joseph (Michelle) Lampert of Lewiston, MT, Melinda Lampert of Elk River, and Jennifer (Robert) Rogalski of Cadott, WI. He is also survived by his dear siblings: Al Lampert of Avon, Robert (Elaine) Lampert of Baxter, Rita Court of Sartell, and Cathy Lampert of Sauk Rapids, along with 23 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Jerome was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, Tony Lampert, Clarence Lampert, Marian Schlichting, and Margaret Grell; grandson, Lucas Lampert; and a son-in-law, Denis Rinehart.
