ObituaryMay 8, 2007  OBITUARY: YAKIMA - Janet Isabel Lewis, 95, passed away at Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center on Tuesday, May 1, 2007. Janet was the daughter of Roy and Ida Horner, born on May 11, 1911 in Enosburg Falls, Vermont. After graduating from high school, Janet entered nurse's training at Physicians Hospital in Plattsburg, NY, did postgraduate work at Columbia University and worked as a nurse. In 1936, she married Carl Lewis and moved to Aruba, Netherland Antilles where they spent the next 28 years raising their two children, before retiring and moving to Florida. Janet was an avid bridge player and loved to garden. She was a bright, articulate and cultured person, but had a playful side to her that loved ice skating, skiing and dancing. After Carl's death in 1987, she moved to Yakima to be closer to her children and their families.

Janet will be remembered for her strength, discipline and especially her strong will, which accounted for her long life. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Peter and Jean Lewis of Pomona, CA and a daughter Deborah Moore of Yakima; grandchildren Erin, Denim and Meghan Moore and Melissa Littlefield, and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and sister.

A celebration of Janet's life will be held on Friday, May 11, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. at Living Care Retirement Community, Living View Sunrise Room, 211 North 40th Avenue, Yakima. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor her memory may contribute to the American Heart Association or a charity of your choice. Shaw and Sons Funeral Directors are in charge of arrangements.

The family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation to the staff of Hillcrest at Summitview Assisted Living and Summitview Health Care Center for their outstanding efforts, concern and assistance to Janet over the last six years. They would especially like to thank Dr. Victor Sharpe for twenty years of compassion and exceptional medical care he gave to Janet.
