Among the founding members of the First United Methodist Church of Bellevue, she and Dad lived the Christian life by example. Throughout her life, she was active in many charitable, civic, and cultural organizations, as well as watch and netsuke collecting, creating beautiful crocheted gifts, and enjoying music in any form.

She is lovingly remembered by three children: Dr. Gregory Lewis (Stevie) of Spokane, David Lewis of Seattle, and Nancy Cole of Port Orchard. She leaves behind 5 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and a multitude of extended family members.
