With deepest sadness we announce the passing of Jan Lewis on September 6th, at the age of 72 in Hamilton, ON. She was an amazing wife to the late Paul Lewis for 41 years; the most kind and loving mother to Adi and Sam, and their partners Jeff Hunt and Christina Carvalho; adoring Grandma to Hudson, Emerson, Harper, Billie, and River. Loyal sister of Bob (Jane), Heather (Bill), Jim (Catherine), Barb (John) and Jill (Dean). Sister-in-law to Peter and Ellen Lewis and Aunt to her beloved nieces and nephews. Hilarious, honest and warm, Jan’s arrival in any room made it brighter and more welcoming than it was before. She loved road trips to Sauble Beach and card games on the covered porch. Jan always had perfectly themed gifts and cookies for all of her grandkids for every special occasion. Her hand painted cards made everyone who received one feel seen and loved. If you were lucky enough to know Jan well, her quick wit, knowing smile, and comforting hugs will be missed forever. We would like to thank the oncology team at Grand River Hospital (especially Dr. Lumsden) and the oncology team at Juravinski Hospital for aiding Jan through her journey living with cancer. Special thanks to the palliative care team at St. Peter’s Hospital for their incredible care of Jan and her family during her final days. Friends will be received at Turner Family Funeral Home, in Dundas Ontario, on Wednesday September 18th. Visitation at 10am followed by a Memorial Service at noon and a reception to follow. Remembrances to the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers-to-Grandmothers Campaign, would be appreciated by Jan’s family.
