Obit for Mrs. Delores A. Lewis
Mrs. Delores Anderson Lewis, 75, of Fredericksburg, and formerly of Richmond, VA and Gary, IN, passed away on Wednesday May 5, 2005 at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg.
She was the daughter of immigrant Swedish parents, the late Paul and Hedvig (Kalen) Anderson, and the widow of the late John Edward Lewis, to whom she was married for 28 years. Mrs. Lewis worked for H&R Block for 20 years, serving as office manager in Richmond, Virginia. She was a past member and officer in the VFW Women's Auxiliary and Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorority, both in Gary. In the past few years one of her greatest pleasures was a 6,000 mile car trip she completed in 2002, with her granddaughter Laura, covering the entire length of Route 66.
She is survived by her daughter, Karin L.M. Brown and her husband William, of Fredericksburg, VA; her son, Brian John Lewis and his wife Barbara, from Chicago IL; her three grandchildren, Laura, Christopher and Heather Lewis; a future adopted granddaughter who will arrive later this year from China; her sister, Lynn Anderson Patzert of Clinton Township, MI; numerous beloved nieces and nephews here in the United States; and by family still in Sweden. Two brothers, Carl Robert Anderson and Arthur Paul Anderson, predecease her.
The family will receive friends at Laurel Hill Funeral Home, Spotsylvania on Tuesday from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.
