Fofo Lewis

Fofo passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, June 11th. Her entire life was distinguished by her love for people, and a positive, bright and enthusiastic approach. She encouraged the goodness in her friends and relatives with a warm glow and a sweet heart.

Fofo grew up in Houston within the embrace of the Greek community, centered around the Greek Orthodox church. She was a lifelong member of various social clubs and Greek humanistic organizations. She also sang in the church choir. She attended Rice University and had many lifetime relationships from those days. One of those relationships was Ted Lewis who she met in the Rice library, and they were married in December 1955. She worked at St. John's School as a librarian for many years, including while her two sons attended school there. She and Ted retired to an active social life, as well as much international travel. They visited the world together, going to all continents except Antarctica.
