Mom’s hands were always busy – in the vegetable and flower gardens, doing farm work, baking, cooking and sewing. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren. Times we spent together were always special. Mom was an active, faithful Lutheran her whole life. She was a great example to us and kept us always in her prayers. Mom’s faith was strong and carried her through her fights with cancer.

May (Maisie) Emily Lewis
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Maisie Lewis, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, at the Third Crossing Manor, Gladstone on Thursday, June 12, 2008.
She was predeceased by her parents Fred & Daisy Williams; brother Gordon; sister Freda Nelson; parents-in-law Albert & Elizabeth Lewis; brother-in-law Bennett Lewis and Wes Nelson.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 57 years, Fred; her children Carol (Bill) Main of Victoria Beach, Eleanor (Doug) Harrison of Winnipeg and Ken (Nancy) Lewis of Gladstone; grandchildren Kim (Erik) Dickson, Scott, Sharla (Bryan) Zelmer, Melanie, Andrew and Karleigh; sisters Grace (Russell) Strath; three nieces, two nephews and their families.
Maisie was born in Elkhorn, Manitoba on May 14, 1925. She received her education in Elkhorn and went on to receive her teacher training at the Winnipeg Provincial Normal School. She taught in rural schools near Brandon, Oak Lake, Minnedosa and Gladstone. It was at Golden Stream that Maisie met and married Fred Lewis. They were blessed with three children. In 1952 they moved to Reston where they farmed for 12 years. They returned to Gladstone where Maisie taught at Golden Stream from 1964 – 1968 and then Gladstone Elementary until her retirement in 1980.
Her personal life philosophy was “If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well” and “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This was evident in her everyday life.
Mom enjoyed music and sang in the church choir for many years. She was an active member of the U.C.W. and served on the church board. She and Fred enjoyed square dancing and traveled extensively to attend functions in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Maisie loved gardening and shared her produce and flowers with others. Maisie and Fred spent many hours visiting and sharing baking with seniors, those who were ill and those who had lost loved ones. Her greatest joy was attending any activity in which her grandchildren were involved. Animal pets, Lassie and Tiger were very dear to her heart too.
We would like to thank the Doctors and staff at the Seven Regions Health Care Unit and staff at Third Crossing Manor for the excellent care and compassion given to our wife and mother. Also thanks to Valerie Emerson, JoAnn Beavington and the palliative care workers, Betty Cogar, and the home care staff for all of their caring support over the course of Maisie’s illness. Thanks to Donna Cymbalist for taking such good care of Lassie and Tiger during Maisie’s illness and taking Lassie to visit her in hospital and Third Crossing Manor. All of your help over the past months has been greatly appreciated.
A celebration of Maisie’s life was held on Friday, June 20, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. in the Gladstone United Church with Rev. Ian Olive officiating. Interment followed in the Gladstone Cemetery.
If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to Central Plains Cancer Care Services, 318 Saskatchewan Ave. E., Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, R1N 0K8, Seven Regions Palliative Care, c/o Box 711, Gladstone, Manitoba, R0J 0T0 or to the Gladstone United Church, Box 82, Gladstone, Manitoba, R0J 0T0.
