She was born on December 16, 1917 in Grace, Idaho, the daughter of Harvey and Lucy Lowe Gibson.

Hattie married Edwin Engle Lampshire on January 14, 1945 in Grantham, England. It was the same town where her Gibson ancestors had come from, but she didn’t know it. Their marriage was later solemnized in the West Jordan Utah LDS Temple. Ed passed away on April 10, 1993 in Bossier City, Louisiana at his son’s home.

She was raised and educated in Central and Grace, Idaho. After high school she entered nursing school in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She because an RN and practiced in Provo, Utah, Soda Springs, Idaho, Wyoming, and Eugene, Oregon.

When they reached the tent hospital in Oregon, they found a Lt. Colonel kneeling and saying a prayer. When she turned around, she said, “You are an answer to my prayers.” They were immediately inducted into the US Army Nurse Corps. They were known as the six angels from Idaho. After she had worked in Oregon, she was sent to England, United Kingdom where she worked at several bases from 1941 to 1945.

Hattie was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint and had served in many callings during her lifetime. Her ancestors were pioneers in the LDS Church. The majority of them had crossed the plains with the handcart companies. Her ancestors John Doney and his wife built the first house in Franklin, Idaho.

She was very artistic and talented. During her life she enjoyed knitting, crocheting, sewing, cake decorating, painting, ceramics, gardening, and quilting.
