Lambing's retirement home, The Shoreview at Riverside, had to implement no visitation policy due to the coronavirus outbreak and was on the fourth day of quarantine.

However, it didn't discourage her family that ended up in front of her window with colourful balloons and banners to celebrate the birthday girl, whose biggest wish was to have her family all together.
