(Ruth) Eva Duncan Lewis 1917 - 2007 LEWIS MOUNTAIN, NB - Eva Lewis, 89, of Lewis Mountain passed away, at the Moncton Hospital after a lengthy stay since, February 2007. She had many artificial joints, and was affectionately called the "Bionic Woman." Born in Lewis Mountain, she was the daughter of the late Oliver Keenie Duncan and Lela Louise Ripley. She was a member of the Lewis Mountain Baptist Church, lifetime member of the Women's' Institute. Over the years, not only was she a homemaker raising children but she worked outside the home. She had been previously employed at Magnetic Hill as a cook and waitress, CNIB as a cook, Spencers, Salisbury Road, housekeeper for Isadore Fine. In 1941-42 she looked after the farm while her husband was working in Labrador. She was a strong-willed person, loved people, visiting, meeting new people, quilting, knitting, sewing, cooking, watching her favorite TV shows. She was always up-to-date with the news and politics, watching the elections very carefully. A few Doctors have her home knit socks and many of her quilts and afghans are all over the country. She would sometimes knit while her eyes were shut and still have a masterpiece. She was never too busy to take time and talk. Always loved and worried about her children and families. We had a grand 89th family birthday gathering at her home December 2006. She loved every minute. She enjoyed listening to music, also. She always had a craving for sweets and chocolate bars. Around her knitting chair, you would always find little piles of crumbs and bits of yarn. She spent many hours collecting poems, loved to do word search books, call her friends and enjoyed a visit from all. Her memory of olden days and people was remarkable-she knew everyone and would reminisce a lot. She even loved a good joke or two and could always repeat them correctly. She is survived by three daughters, Caroline (Bob MacKenzie), Riverview, Mary (Salisbury), Donna (late Douglas Lewis), Lewis Mountain; three sons, Gerald (Riverview), Frank (Phyllis Hall), Swift Current, Sask, and Douglas Lewis (Verna Hayden), Lewis Mountain; three sisters, Freda (late Don Steeves), Moncton, Mona (late Cecil Smith), Newfoundland, Martha (late Merrille Simmons), Rexton NB; three brothers, Roy (Emily) Edmonton, Alberta, Walter (Verda) Kelowna, BC. And Delbert (late Evelyn), Port Elgin. Also survived by, 17 grandchildren; 25 great grandchildren; and 5 great great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Joseph Willett Lewis (1983); and daughter, Nancy (Pete) Lewis (2002); brothers, Ernest, Morley, Ormond, Wendell, Thornton, Raymond and Robert. She will be sadly missed by all families and many friends. She was a wonderful kind lady, mother and friend. Her memories will be with us forever. She was one of a kind!
