Nancy Lynn Lewis was born in Battle Creek, Michigan, on December 1, 1948.
In the late 1970's, as a young widow, she moved to Southern California with her daughter, Michelle, to be "as close to Disneyland as possible".
Nancy's profession and her passion was the education of young children. She was certified as a Montessori teacher in 1994 and taught school in California, Alaska and Washington. In addition to her gifted way with children, she was highly regarded as a trainer and mentor of other pre-primary educators.
Nancy loved to garden, to sew and to read mysteries, but she will be especially remembered for her exceptional cooking and fabled home made jam. Nancy's grace, humor and hospitality touched a wide range of people in California, Alaska and Washington, but she will be especially missed by Sally Pogue, her life partner with whom she shared 25 years of adventure, growth and laughter, by her beloved daughter, Michelle Lewis, of Anchorage, Alaska, and a large extended family still living in Michigan.
Her death on June 3, 2005, at the age of 56 came as the final stage in her long battle with Leiomyosarcoma, a very rare cancer.
A private celebration of her life and love is planned for Saturday, June 11, at her home. All friends are invited to attend. Call 425-697-2239 for details.
In Nancy's memory, the family asks that you would take a moment to read a favorite book to a young child.- See more at: http:/www.legacy.com/obituaries/heraldnetobituary.aspx?n=nancy-lynn-lewis&pid=14198180#sthash.h3ouaU55.dpuf.
