You gave me such unforgettable moments and such a happy childhood at nine years old. I love you for that and for all your kindness AND for teaching me to play the violin with YOUR violin!

I had Mrs Lewis as my 4th grade teacher at JFK. She is the best teacher ever. She has taught me so many things that will last a lifetime. I love the outdoors because of her!  I learned so much about beachlife because of her. She was such a beautiful person. So giving and so caring.  I will never forget her.  She had such an impact on my life.  RIP Jane Lewis. Condolences to the Lewis family. I LOVE MRS LEWIS :)

Mrs. Lewis was my Sunday School teacher. At the end of the year, she took us on a nature walk to clean up Southard's Pond and then hosted a BBQ for us back at her house. She really went above and beyond.

Not only was Mrs. Lewis an amazing teacher but she was a beautiful person and friend as well. She will be missed. With deepest Condolences, The Chapman Family

I'm so sorry,  please accept my condolences. May your family have peace.  2Thessalonians 3:16

For me, a little light has gone out in the world.  I have known Aunty Jane for probably 50 years.  She was always so fun to talk to, and was so interested in me - what I thought, and what I was doing.  I have so many fond memories of her.  As gawky teenagers, my friend Jana McNally and I spent hours in her kitchen – just talking and laughing, and making her famous Snickerdoodle cookies.   Most recently we had become pen pals, writing back and forth about our various nature outings and bird sightings.  I am so fortunate that I grew up with an extended family of ‘Aunts' and ‘Uncles' like Aunt Jane and Uncle Malcom,  My sympathies to the Lewis family.

  Our deepest sympathy to the entire Lewis family, Mrs. Lewis will be deeply missed but remembered for her warm smile and loving way.

The Nathan Family

To the Lewis Family-you are in our thoughts and prayers. Jane was a wonderful person and touched many lives. With our deepest sympathies-The Sherry Family and Joan Richter

As you get older, a lot of people that came in and out of your life fade from your memory.   Jane Lewis  always stayed with me.  From time to time  through the years, I would think of her and wonder how she is.  She was one of the teachers in my life that left an impression.  Just last year I got inspired and  had nothing to do one afternoon and took the walk from Southards pond in Babylon all the way up to Belmont Lake.  This brought back memories of 4th grade, when we took a field trip there.   Judging from reactions of  past students, I think she was like  the Mr. Holland of West Babylon.  God Bless and Thank you for going above and beyond,  Mrs. Lewis.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.  Your mother was such a great lady  and always made us feel welcome at the beach. Her infectious smile and joyful spirit will be missed.

Whenever anyone asks, I always say Mrs. Lewis was my favorite teacher.  As a "new kid", she made me feel welcome, important and smart. She instilled in me a love of nature and reading. I still have a book I "stole" from her classroom. For a long time, I felt guilty, but I am sure she knew and was happy it helped me learn to love reading. Please know I will always treasure her memory. Rest In Peace Mrs. Lewis.

We are so saddened by the loss of our dear Jane....my mom always felt she was the sister she never had....plus a dear friend and a super sister in law....I had only one Aunt....but thankfully her name was Jane Roberts Lewis......she made a huge impact on my life....and I'm so grateful to have had her in my life.....my Aunt...my friend...my calamity Jane.....fly high honey...now you'll see just how much u are loved.....you'll always be the wind beneath my wings......all our love..Ellie & Bobby Roberts

Deeply saddened 

To all my Lewis family and all who were lucky to have known Aunti Jane,  I have the best childhood memmories of growing up at the Lewis house. Ain't Jane would spend hours talking with me at the kitchen table countless times when I would stop over. She understood kids and made them feel good about themselves always. All the memories of playing music at the house, including the famous 12 days of Christmas:). I very lucky I was able to visit all of you at the beach house recently. That was so great of a day!  Thank you for all you did to pull that together. God Bless all of you and you are in my Prayers. Love Scotty

Mrs. Lewis was a great Mom who put up with all of our youthful shenanigans. God bless you, Mrs. Lewis.

We had so much fun with the family especially with the "Twelve Days of Christmas" a lot of laughs.  Her Birthday parties.  Family parties.  She will missed by so many.  The last time she flew, she was with us, in the middle,
of Bob and I, praying..
Love to all the family,
Ollie and Bob, Port Orange, Fl.

What a beautiful woman, I always enjoy her compassion and spirit. only new Jane for 28 years, but what a great person, she said it like it was. She'll be missed by all. My sympathy for Malcolm and the whole family, a great bunch of people., friends to everyone.

Mrs. Lewis was my fourth grade teacher in 1975-76. I remember the field trips, after school art club, and her fun approach to teaching. I am 48 years old now and I still remember Jane as my all time favorite teacher. I will never forget her kindness and love she gave to her students. Jane impacted generations of students and her legacy will live on for many years to come. Rest in peace.

Mrs. Lewis was an amazing teacher.  She loved her students and went over and beyond to make learning fun. I will always remember the outdoor learning programs at the park and our trips to the Indian store to get beads and the leather roping to make friendship bracelets. She touched so many lives and I feel blessed to have had her as a teacher. I am so sorry for your loss.  Lisa Edwards ( Middle Island, NY)

I have so many childhood memories with your mom and you guys, Janie. The family beach house. The Fire Dept. functions, school functions, countless lunches & dinners & sleep overs at your house She was always teaching us something... Your mom was truly one of GOD'S Angels here on Earth She will be missed by many. Peace Love GODSPEED  Wishing you & your family much love & light and my deepest condolences at this sad time in your lives. HUGS      Dawn Barth Musacchia

In the above obituary nothing is said about Jane hosting AFS exchange students from all over the world. I am one of them . I stayed with the Lewis,Malcom, Big Chief, and Jane simply MOM in August 1961.It was one of those unexpected gift life gives you getting to know Mom Jane. She has been close to me over more than 50 years in a way only MOMS that are also FRIENDS can be.I will never be enough grateful to the entire Lewis family and to Mom in particular for the warm hospitality,love care and fun recived by them .Bye Bye,MOM!Giacomo joins me in hugging you and the entire family very tightly.

I am saddened to hear of Mrs. Lewis's passing. She was my fourth grade teacher at Southbay Elementary and I might add my favorite teacher. She had me draw the covers to our school paper and always made me feel like an artist! I am now 53 and live in Fl. But I have thought about her many , many times thru out the years. an angel on earth , now an angel in heaven.

I don't remember even half the teachers I had throughout the years, but I remember Miss Lewis.  She was a great teacher, very loving and compassionate.  R.I.P. xoxo

The world has lost one of its brightest lights today... My heart is heavy...the world is now short a loving wife and supportive Mother, a dedicated and inspiring teacher, a tireless volunteer, a creative artist, a loyal friend, a kind and gentle soul, a good neighbor, a community servant, and the most fun Grandma that always comes..."BACK!"

 This woman has given me a priceless gift...that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I love you, I will miss you and I thank you for always being there. Your light will always shine bright in the hearts of those who have known you Jane.
 Until we meet again.......Meggie
