Dolores Barbara Lewis

Sunrise February 14, 1929 – Sunset June 25, 2013

We were deeply saddened to announce the loss of Dolores Lewis who passed peacefully in her sleep. She is predeceased by her husband William ‘Willie’ Doran Lewis, children James ‘Christopher’ Lewis, Ruth Mavis ‘Donna’ Lewis & Barbara Ann White. Dolores is survived by her children Doran Lewis (Julia), Karen Lewis (Gerry Smith), Lynn Lewis, Brenda Lewis, Barry Lewis and grandson Christopher ‘Chris’ Lewis, who was raised by his grandparents. She is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 16+ great grandchildren, sisters June Hamilton, Gloria Wilson, Debra Joe, brothers Richard and Wilfred Wilson.

Dolores was a proud citizen of the Squamish Nation and will be missed by the community. Mom was a generous soul and was always helping and thinking about others no matter what. She worked throughout her life and her greatest legacy to the Squamish Nation was working for the Taha Lodge and over time had bonded with many Nation members with lifetime friendships. Dolores was always there for her family and friends, she watched many of the children on the Capilano reserve grow up and raise their own families. She was fondly known to many as ‘Auntie Dolores’, her friendly nature and her beautiful smile lit up the room. Mom had a gentle, loving and kind heart. Her pastimes were playing bingo and rounding up those who enjoyed spending an evening together to socialize and share stories.

A Catholic Prayer and Funeral Service will be at St. Paul’s Indian Catholic Church 424 West Esplanade, North Vancouver, BC on Friday, June 28th at 7:00pm and Saturday, June 29th at 10:00am. On-line condolences may be sent to www.glenhavenfuneralchapel.com
