Carol LEWIS Obituary


LEWIS,
Carol M.

We mourn, but not as those without confidence in the coming resurrection.
Carol Marcille Tipke Lewis, 87, joined Heaven's celestial choir on October 18, 2017.
Carol was a lifelong resident of the Mead area. She retired from the Mead School District after 20+ years as a business education teacher during which time she made the transition from manual typewriters and ledger books to computer labs and teaching word processing and Excel. She was an avid sports fan and enthusiast throughout her life. Along with many other activities, she played tennis and badminton in school, and she was a longtime fixture at Mead football and basketball games during and after her teaching career. More recently she attended many Gonzaga basketball and Arena football games. She had a passion for music, singing in many choirs throughout her life, and also directing church vocal and bell choirs. She also wrote the words to the current Mead High fight song in the 1970s. Along with her husband, she was the co-owner of the JC Leasing trucking firm.
She was predeceased by her parents Lydia and George Tipke and her husband, John Lewis. She is survived by her siblings Don (Shirley) Tipke and James Tipke; children Suzanne (Charles) Hawkins, Jerry Lewis, and Larry (Peggy) Lewis; seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, November 2, 2017, from 3:00 to 7:00 PM, at Hazen & Jaeger Funeral Home, 1306 N. Monroe, Spokane, WA, 99201. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Sunday, November 5 at 2:30 PM. The service will be held at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 7307 N. Nevada Street. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Holy Cross Lutheran Church or Hospice of Spokane.

Mrs. Lewis was a wonderful teacher and I was one of her students back in the 70's at Mead High School. She taught me shorthand and business classes that insured I would always have a job. May she rest in peace.

Suzzy, Jerry and Larry, So sorry to hear about your mom. We last visited her when dad was sick and when we arrived at the house she was on her treadmill going strong! I remember that she took pride in taking care of others. Take care of yourselves during this difficult time. Kelli Lewis
