Theo Ephriam Lewis

Theo Ephriam Lewis, age 82, resident of Turnerville, AL., died Monday, September 19, 2011 at his residence. He was a United States Army Korean War veteran, retired from Brookley Field as Ocean Terminal Manager and was a member of First Baptist Church - Citronelle. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Smith Lewis, son Christopher Kent Lewis, daughter Cindy Lewis Malone, seven grandchildren Jessica, Kristen, C.T., Durand, Delaine, Caleb, Milo, two great grandchildren; Ian, Ethan, four brothers Roger Lewis, Harry Lewis, Jerral Lewis, Wendal Lewis, three sisters Esta Lee Carmichael, Beulah Hensley, Joyce Kelly. A wake will be held 6-9pm Thursday, September 22, 2011 at Freeman Funeral Home. Funeral Service will be 2pm Friday, September 23, 2011 at First Baptist Church - Citronelle with interment at Turnerville Cemetery. A Godly man, loving husband and father, has finished his journey and now is in the presence of the Lord. He loved his life and lived it simply with honesty, integrity, and humility; a soft compassionate heart yet standing his ground for right and good. He loved his family, his wife of 57 years, his children and theirs, his brothers and sisters, and their children. We will miss terribly his guidance, encouragement, strength - his soft smile and the wisdom in his gray-blue eyes. Now left with memories that will go round, bearing life without him, our joy will be found, through Jesus Christ, when we are all gathered eternally.
