There was a glad reunion on Friday, September 27, 2019 as Delores June Lewis was called home to be with the Lord. We are so happy that her suffering is over, her sight is restored, and she is having the time of her life with loved ones who have gone before. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Hartford Jennings Lewis; parents, Willie Houston and Hattie Cripps and her sister, Willa Dean Cripps Kellar (Charles). June was born September 11, 1934 in Dowelltown, TN.

“Moma June” was an excellent caregiver for her family and numerous other families in her community as she babysat children in her home for over 50 years.
