Mrs. Lewis was born on September 18, 1938, in Dustin, Oklahoma. She retired from The University of Mississippi where she worked as a switch board operator. A beloved member of Calvary Baptist Church, she sang in the choir for many years. It brought Mrs. Lewis great joy to sing the gospel hymns that she loved so much. In the spring and summertime, she devoted many hours to tending to her flower garden and spending time in the yard. Mrs. Lewis loved shopping, especially thrifting, collecting many figurines and trinkets that adorned her home. Most of all, she was a devoted mother and grandmother, who loved her family deeply. Mrs. Lewis was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Lewis; daughter, Debra Collins Parker; son, David Collins, Jr.; and grandson, Mark Collins.

Mrs. Lewis is survived by her son, Mark Collins of Henryetta, OK; brother, Rick Claiborne; six grandchildren, Mandy Parker, Cody Parker and his wife, Sammi, Matt Collins, D.J. Collins, Chris Collins, and Mandi Collins; and eleven great-grandchildren.
