Obituary of Eleanor Marie Lewis

With great sorrow, her “girls” announce the passing of Eleanor Marie Lewis (nee Smith) at Niagara Health - St. Catharines on March 13, 2024, with her daughter by her side.

Predeceased by her beloved husband William (Billy) of 52 years, they are together once again. 

A devoted mother and friend to Linda Ada Lewis. Most loved Drama to her only granddaughter Mackenzie A.V. Lewis.

Eleanor held many positions throughout her work life, and was most proud of her volunteer activities be they political, running many a campaign office, or charity related. Eleanor spent many years with the Girl Guides, from leading a group at St. Columba Church to being a District Commissioner for the Niagara Region. Together with “her” Billy, she was an antique and GM car enthusiast, being a member of the Antique and Classic Car Club of Canada and their first female National President for many years. She was an active member of St. John's Anglican Church in Thorold.

Eleanor will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her many dear friends.
