Mrs. Barbara A Lewis

Born in Cades, SC on February 17, 1933, she was the daughter of the late Roy and Mary Lee F. Smiley. She was educated in Charleston schools. She was a homemaker and active member of Aldersgate Methodist Church throughout her life focusing on missions.

She met and married her “one and only love”, Paul Edward Lewis and they were married for 52 years. Always a caretaker, Barbara was a selfless person and a kind and giving soul. Whether it was raising her four boys or caring daily for her aging mother, her ill mother in law, and also daily meals for her father in law after his wife's passing. Becoming a Nanny and Granny was her greatest joy in life to 8 grandchildren and 7 great grands. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. Those that knew her felt her caring heart. She loved hummingbirds, her 4 mile walks around Park Circle, and her beloved chihuahua, Roswell.

She is survived by her two sons, Jeffery (Shelley) and Mark (Olivia). Eight grandchildren, Rob (Beth), Branch, Jessica, Brandon (Lindsey), Elizabeth (Clint) Lafont , Matthew (Dianne), Katherine (Cameron) Beacham , Laura (Jordan) Gwaltney. Seven great grandchildren, Benjamin, Maddie, Heyward, Caleb, Hampton, Charlotte, and Ava. One sister, Rosemary Sabo, and one brother, John (Ginny) Smiley .

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Paul Edward, two sons Paul Edward (Eddie), Gregory Roland (Greg), three brothers Billy, Roy and Robbie Smiley and two sisters Betty Dandridge and Judy Martin.
