Mrs. Carolyn Jones Lewis, age 76, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 16th, at her home in Huntsville, Alabama, after a long illness. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lyle and Mamie Jones, of Florence, Alabama. Carolyn is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Robert Lewis; her brother, Jimmy Aston, 89, of Brentwood, Tennessee; her daughters, Deborah Spero of Tampa, Florida, and Lyla Carman of Nashville, Tennessee; and three grandchildren, Dylan Spero, Lilly and Mamie Carman. Carolyn’s family traveled with TVA when she was growing up and moved to Florence in 1956. She attended Coffee High School, and David Lipscomb College and UNA.
Carolyn was a charter member and was very active in the early founding of Twickenham Church of Christ, acting as the first church secretary and helping prepare the bulletin. She was always encouraging others and finding ways to serve. She was deeply involved with the Huntsville Inner City Learning Center, and provided gifts for the children to give their mothers at Christmas.
She loved traveling with her family, was involved with her Homemaking Arts club, loved spending time with her church friends, and was always helping make special memories with her beloved grandchildren.
Visitation will be at Twickenham Church of Christ at 1:00 pm Saturday, November 19th, followed by the celebration of life at 2:00.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial donations to be made to the Huntsville Inner City Learning Center or St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
