A. Louise (Erskine) Lewis, 103, of Columbus, passed away Tuesday, May 1, 2018, at her residence.
She was born in Chillicothe, Ohio to the late John and Agnes (Jones) Erskine on May 8, 1914. On April 17, 1933, she married Leonard G. Lewis, who preceded her in death on April 17, 1989.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by two sons, Leonard and Jack Lewis, and a son-in-law, C. Daniel Hollis.
Louise leaves behind a daughter, Venita Hollis, of Columbus, with whom she resided the last several years; nine grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 16 great-great grandchildren. Also surviving is daughter-in-law, Sylvia Lewis, and good friend, Sister Wilma Ross.
Louise was a 1932 graduate of Chillicothe High School and the oldest member of Walnut United Methodist Church, where she was secretary of the former Sarah Circle.
