Don Leslie Lewis

Don Leslie Lewis, son of Archie and Sallie Lewis, passed away peacefully at Sweet Life of Rosehill on January 22, 2012.

Born February 4, 1937, Don came from a family of school teachers. He earned a BS in chemistry and an MS in physics, and for 35 years he taught math, chemistry and physics in several Texas high schools and at Coastal Bend College in Beeville, Texas. Students remember him for his witty good humor and intelligence.

Survivors include his wife Waverly of Shawnee, Kansas; daughter Amy of Ventura, California; brother Hugh and his wife Hazel, Los Angeles, California; niece Sarah, San Antonio, Texas; and nephews, David and John and their families of Austin, Texas. Between Don and Waverly they have 7 nephews, 1 niece, 3 great-nieces and 8 great nephews.

A life-long Methodist, Don was a loving and compassionate husband, father, and friend. Since Don and Waverly recently moved from Bandera, Texas, a memorial service is planned in Bandera for early spring.

Visitation will be 9:30-10:30 a.m., Saturday, January 28, 2012, at the Amos Family Chapel of Shawnee. Funeral service will follow at 10:30 a.m. at the chapel with burial at Shawnee Mission Memory Gardens.
