Imogene Lewis Obituary
Imogene Ann Lewis, 93, of Deshler, passed away Friday morning, July 21, 2023, at Fox Run Manor, Findlay.
She was born Sept. 6, 1929, in rural Deshler, Bartlow Township, to Cecil and Ethel (Shank) Rayle. She married Earl Lewis on Dec. 4, 1949, at Deshler United Methodist Church and he preceded her in death in Oct., 1996.
Imogene was a 1947 graduate of Deshler High School. Together with her husband, Earl, they raised their family on the family farm just outside Deshler. She was a devoted homemaker and assisted on the farm in all the daily duties. She was a faithful member of Deshler United Methodist Church. Here, she was very active in the choir, the Women's Group, a lay speaker, Sunday School teacher, and she led the Junior Sermons.
Imogene always had a very artistic side to her and this led to her being the co-president and contributing member to Deshler Art League. Her family and many friends will remember her many works on display about town and at many art shows. She was also a former Girl Scout Leader, den mother for Cub Scouts, and member of Deshler Camera Club.
She is survived by three children, Gail Margush, Ralph Lewis, and David (Winifred) Lewis; eight grandchildren, Matthias, J. Renee, Anna, Stephanie, Sarah, David, Kayla, and Jonathan; and 14 great-grandchildren.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; two grandsons, Nathan and Joshua; great-granddaughter, Sophie Mae; sisters, Helen Lutz and Norma Louise Rayle; and three brothers, Floyd, Cloyd, and Glen Rayle.
Imogene's funeral will be 11 a.m. Friday, July 28, 2023, at New Beginnings United Methodist Church, Deshler, with Pastor Chris Walter officiating. Burial will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery, Deshler.
Visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Thursday, July 27, 2023, at Feehan-Rodenberger Funeral Home, Deshler, and 10-11 a.m. Friday at the church.
The family suggests memorials to Gideons International, New Beginnings United Methodist Church, or donor's choice.
