On Thursday, August 9, 2018, Barbara Anne Lewis, loving wife and mother of three, went into the arms of Jesus at the age of 58, after 14 years of an off and on battle with cancer. During those 14 years she never stopped loving and serving her God, as she loved and served all those around her. Barbara was born on December 9, 1959 in Kansas City, Missouri to Bob & Betty Raines. She received her Bachelors Degree in Child Development from Baylor University in 1982, and married John Milton Lewis of Houston, Texas, in June of 1982. She had a passion for children and anyone who could not speak for themselves, including refugees from many nations. She was fiery and compassionate in her pursuit of helping those in need, whether here or abroad. One would commonly see her in Sams Club buying necessary items for a new refugee family, always giving above and beyond. She was strong and a formidable force to deal with when fighting injustice. Barbara was a high achiever and always learning new things; encouraging others to do the same and to follow God’s calling in their lives. Even after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, she was still determined to get her Real Estate license and sold well above the norm while going through chemo. Barbara was always praying for others and continually worshipping God, which she did until her last breath on this earth. She was known for her lavish generosity, her strong faith in God, her powerful prayers, and her intense love of family (which extended beyond her blood relatives). Barbara is survived by her husband John, her three children and spouses, Daniel and McCall Lewis, Matthew and Bwa Moo Lewis, and Melissa and Edson Ibanez; her beloved little grandson David Paul Lewis; two brothers and two sisters along with their spouses, as well as sixteen nieces and nephews who loved their Aunt Barbie.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sunday, August 12, at The Rock Church on 4881 Cherokee Drive, in Castle Rock, CO, at 3:00 pm, with visitation starting at 2:00 pm. A private burial with family will take place on Monday, August 13.
