Leah Christine Lewis Chriscoe

Leah was the daughter of the late Austin Durant Lewis and Christine Horner Lewis.

She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Pat Chriscoe; her son Will Chriscoe and wife Sara, of Raleigh; granddaughter Amelia and grandson William; her daughter Lauren McMillen and husband Mark of Holly Springs; grandson Mark III; sister Martha Lewis and husband Karl Burkheimer of Portland, OR; Sister Julia Sampair and husband Tom of Raleigh.

Leah graduated from Sanderson High School and East Carolina University. She worked for the Godfrey Group after college graduation until her medical conditions prompted her to become a full-time mother in 2002. She dedicated herself to her family’s interests which has grown in recent years to her grandchildren whom she dearly loved and they so loved their Ena.

Leah took great pleasure from her Agape Circle at First United Methodist Church, Cary and one of its biggest projects the Prison Fellowship Ministry. She had a personality that attracted people to her. One of her many trusted physicians at Duke University Hospital described her fittingly. “I felt so lucky to have Leah as a patient. Such an inspiration to see how she was so positive through the face of her illness. I’m a better person for having known Leah, and I count her as a patient and a friend.” Leah was an example of the philosophy that you get out of life what you put into it. She invested heavily and received much in return.
