Our beloved Mother and Grandmother, Gwendolyn Louise Lewis, has bravely soared to the heavens to be with her savior, Jesus Christ.  She left us early morning on March 6, 2017.  Gwen was born on January 21, 1931 in Frisco, Texas and has lived in the surrounding cities almost all her life.  She probably felt that Irving was her home as that was where she raised her family.

She is survived by her daughter, Vicki Lamp, of Shady Shores, TX and her son, Joe Lewis, Jr., of Southgate, MI.  She leaves a wonderful legacy of five grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.   Gwen's son-in-law, Michael Lamp, looked to her as a second Mom and was a comfort as he reassured and encouraged her whenever possible.

Gwen began life in a farming family and she had 12 brothers and sisters who all grew up on the farm.  In fact, her maiden name was Farmer.  Gwen was the baby girl of her family and has a dear older sister, Imogene, still in Irving at 94 years young.  Gwen also had an adopted family, Mai and Lan Nguyen, who she loved dearly.

As you can imagine, family get-togethers and reunions could be a houseful, but she loved to cook, and to entertain, and wanted all of her family around her whenever possible.

The staff at Denton Rehabilitation also became her close and loving family and their love and kindness was a blessing to her before she had to leave us all.  Gwen and her late husband, Arthur Joe Lewis, were members of First Baptist Euless and will be greatly missed by her church family and friends.

There will be a Memorial Service at DeBerry Funeral Home at 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, March 16 ^th and a Graveside Service at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens in Irving at 3:00 P.M. on Thursday, March 16th.
