Billy G. Lewis' Obituary
On Friday, February 2, 2024, Billy Lewis, loving husband and father of two children, passed away at the age of 89. Billy was born on February 19, 1934 in Jackson, TN to Ralph and Lilly Lewis. Billy had three siblings: Shugg, Ralph and Mary Francis.
Billy met his wife beautiful Betty, and they were married on January 18, 1952. Billy and Betty had 69 wonderful years of marriage before Betty succumbed to cancer. When his wife Betty passed away a piece of his heart passed away with her. During Billy's life, he and Betty had two sons. Gary (deceased) and Ken Lewis. Billy is survived by his son Ken, his four grandchildren: Michael, Janell, Christina, and Stephanie as well as six great-grandchildren, Weston, Finley, Loralei, Falyn, Leighton, and Foley. Billy loved his family with his whole heart.
Billy loved talking on the phone and seeing customers he had known for a lifetime. Billy used to always say he had packages piled up outside when it was his Birthday or a Holiday. He loved to tell jokes! He was known for his quick wit and his infectious smile. Every time he would talk with a Great Grand he would say "Hi Sugar Puddin" and that brought the biggest smile to their faces.
I know Billy is smiling right now as he is back with the love of his life, Betty, in Heaven. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery at 1:00 pm. Visitation will be at 12:00 pm.
