See the code snippet below to solve your problem using a combination of lambda inline functions and the replace function for a string object.

df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ["Tom's", "Jerry's", "Harry"]})
print(df, '\n')

Tom's Jerry's Harry

# Remove any apostrophes using lambda and replace function
df = df['Name'].apply(lambda x: str(x).replace("'", ""))
print(df, '\n')

Toms Jerrys Harry
