Born March 9, 1929, in Middleway, WV, she was the daughter of the late John Fielding Lewis and Gladys (Childs) Lewis.
She was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Harpers Ferry, WV.
Her family was her greatest joy and her life's purpose. Always younger than her years, Doris was a "hip" Grandma. She will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends.
Doris is survived by two daughters, Norma Jean Wilt (Richard) and Diana Bond of Charles Town; three sons, Jeffrey Mumaw (Kim) and Terry Mumaw (Monica) of Harpers Ferry, and Keith Mumaw (Michelle) of Charles Town; daughter-in-law, Kristine Mumaw of Charles Town, one sister, Frances Longerbeam of Harpers Ferry; one brother, John "Mann" Lewis of Brunswick, Maryland, 19 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, seven great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Michelle Mowery, Tammy Johnson, and Doris's great-niece, Pam Norris, for the excellent care they provided to our mother.
Services will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, May 16, 2025, at Eackles-Spencer & Norton Funeral Home, 256 Halltown Road, Harpers Ferry, WV, with The Honorable Reverend Dr. John R. Unger officiating. Interment will follow in Brownsville Heights Cemetery.
