Obituary of Shirley L. Lewis

Shirley L. Lewis, age 82, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away on Friday morning, January 29, 2016, at the Anderson County Hospital in Garnett, Kansas, with her two beloved sons, Tony and Terry, by her side. She was born on October 8, 1933, in Garnett, Kansas, the daughter of Joe and Margaret (Schlick) Baldridge. Shirley met her future husband, Fred M. Lewis, while working at the soda fountain inside Graves Drug Store; the "cool" place for high school kids to hang out at that time. After graduating from Garnett High School, Shirley and Fred married on September 15, 1951. In 1967, Shirley and Fred adopted twin boys, Tony and Terry. A lifelong Garnett resident, later in life, Shirley and Fred rebuilt the home she grew up in, and her pride in her home was evident until her passing. Shirley was a member of Holy Angels Catholic Church, and avid reader, and a KU basketball fan. She was always quick to help a friend or neighbor in whatever way she could. Her family and friends were a big part of her life and filled her days. With her many grandchildren, she never forgot to send each one a birthday card, along with a card for each sibling so they would not feel left out. She also sent one a card for every holiday. Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Margaret Baldridge; her husband, Fred Lewis; and her brother, John Wayne Baldridge. She is survived by her sons, Tony Lewis and wife Randi of Cypress, Texas; Terry Lewis and wife Rosanna of Eagle River, Alaska; grandchildren, Gabe, Cherylanda, Chelsea, Madison, Joseph, Halee, Hanna, Gabriel, and Oliver; great grandchildren, Tony and Mirsayah; and her sister-in-law, Helen Baldridge. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, February 2, 2016, at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Garnett, Kansas. Burial will follow in the Holy Angels Cemetery in Garnett. Family will greet friends from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Monday evening at the Feuerborn Family Funeral Service Chapel in Garnett, Kansas. Memorial contributions may be made to Golden Heights.
