MaryEllen Lewis

Lewis - MaryEllen "Mary", of Carle Place, NY, passed away on May 6, 2025. She was surrounded by family. She is survived by her loving husband of 58+ years, Charles "Charlie"

Lewis; her three children,

Michele (Mark) Klimaszewski,

Nicole Lewis, Keith (Suzy) Lewis; two granddaughters, Annemarie and Nicole

Klimaszewski; her brother, Dr. George "Jimmy" (Paula) Vilushis; and their families and cousins. A retired RN and real estate agent, our Mom loved life and the adventures it presented her with. She enjoyed exploring the art of painting and the beauty that nature and man had to offer. As a person, she was a caregiver for her loved ones and strangers alike. She was an optimist that saw the good and positive in just about everyone and would open her home to those in need. Mom was the one for keeping the connection with family and friends with her weekly or monthly phone calls, engaging the human connection of conversation instead of random one line or emoji text. Her love was felt by most that met her. She will be missed by those she has touched. The world is a better place for having had her in it for the time she was here. May those who felt her love carry it forward. We love you, Mom. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, American Diabetes Association, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, or LICIL (Long Island Center for Independent Living). A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held on a future date.
