Obituary
Guest Book
In loving memory of Priscilla Borczyk Lewis, who graced this world with her vibrant spirit and boundless laughter from April 30, 1948, until her departure on February 4, 2026. Born in Pennsylvania, Priscilla grew up in the quaint town of Mahwah, New Jersey, where the foundations of her life were laid amidst beautiful memories and cherished relationships. In 1984, she made the courageous move to Mississippi, where she created a loving home for her family.
Priscilla was a beacon of joy, her laughter echoing in the hearts of all who knew her. Her sense of fun was infectious, and she possessed an unparalleled ability to light up any room she entered. Affectionately remembered as (nee Borczyk), she cultivated a life rich in love, kindness, and cherished moments with family and friends.
Her legacy continues through her beloved sons, David Lewis and Dewayne Lewis (Melissa), along with her cherished grandchildren, JD Lewis, Annalyn Lewis, Amanda Dewitt, Conner Bynum, Mia Bynum; and great granddaughter, Everleigh Dewitt. Priscilla's family was everything to her, and she delighted in every moment spent with them. She is also lovingly remembered by her sister, Mary DeBoer (Fred), and her nieces, Michele, Lynda, Elizabeth, Nicole, and Jennifer, as well as her great-nephew, Joseph Thomas. Although her heart will be deeply missed by them, her spirit will forever remain a guiding light in their lives.
Priscilla is reunited in eternal peace with her husband, James Lewis, who predeceased her, along with her parents, Thomas and Marie Borczyk, and her brother, Thomas Borczyk, Jr. Together they hold a space of warmth and love, waiting for the day they will be reunited.
Join us in honoring a life beautifully lived, a woman whose essence taught us all that the simplest joys often bring the most profound happiness. A visitation will be held in her memory at Chancellor Funeral Home in Florence, Mississippi, on February 7, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Let us gather not in sadness but in celebration of the remarkable life of Priscilla Borczyk Lewis, whose laughter and love will resonate in our hearts forever.
