up on the farm just outside of town. She was one of a large, loving family
in a neighborhood of several large families, all of whom were great
neighbors.
She was born of the Spirit of God at age 11, and immediately followed the
Lord in Scriptural Baptism, a member of the First Baptist Church of
Bourbon. As a teenager and young lady, she loved the Lord and worked in the
bus ministry. She was captain of the "town route" where she was used of God
to bring many children and some of their parents to Jesus.
After graduating from Bourbon High School and acquiring her Associate's
Degree in Secretarial Practice at East Junior College in Union, Mo., she
became Norma Jane Lewis. Where on April 26, 1975, she united in marriage
with Neil Roy Lewis, an ordained minister of the Gospel. The couple lived
at Fenton, Mo., where she helped her husband who was pastoring Antioch
Baptist Church in St. Louis. They moved into their first house in House
Springs, Mo. where they were blessed of God with four children: Rebekah
Elizabeth, one unnamed baby, Heather June and Matthew James.

they served in various capacities for eight years, and made many wonderful
friends. In 1994, the Lewis' moved to St. Robert and joined with the

especially glassware and jewelry. Her life was dedicated to serving
children in many ministries: Sunday school, Junior Church and teaching. She
baby-sat in her home for 10 years, being loved by all the children, many of
whom still remember her affectionately. She also loved to sing the songs
about Jesus, having a beautiful alto voice. She was a very loving person,
giving to others before herself. She was a superb, wonderful wife,
supporting her husband in all his ministries. She was a wonderful mother to
her children, always loving, supporting, and encouraging them. Many times
she would stay up late at night sewing garments for her children, who would
excitedly find them finished the next morning.
She was always firm in her convictions concerning the Christian life and
the Christ she loved. She was known and loved by people around the world,
even by many whom have never met her. She is now at home with Jesus, after
courageously fighting a painful bout with cancer for three years, but
having never given up. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. She
was a real picture of Jesus living in one's life.
