1920 - 2005
 Helen Maxine Lewis, Greenville, having run her race and finished her course, was graciously and gently received into the Glory of her Heavenly Father on July 23, 2005, as a joint heir of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to an eternal reward, that can never perish, spoil or fade.
Her life was dedicated to the service of her Heavenly Father, her husband and family and her church. She was an accomplished seamstress, a loving sister, loyal friend and a great cook. She dedicated large portions of her life to serving young mothers and children through the cradle roll ministry, Sunday school and vacation bible school in her church, and to teaching bible classes in Greenville grade schools and release time classes. She did not waver in her love for and faith in her Heavenly Father and, together with her loyal husband, instilled that love and faith in her children, who remain eternally grateful.

Mrs. Lewis played a primary role in helping me to accept God's gift of salvation through Jesus. I'll never, ever forget her. She taught Bible Club when I went to Baldwin Heights Elementary. She and Mr. Lewis are very special. I'm sure she's enjoying herself in the presence of Christ - whom she loves -- and who loves her.
