Deborah Louise Lewis

Debbie passed away in her home in Woodland Hills surrounded by her family after fighting a nearly seven year battle with cancer.

She was born March 13, 1956 on March Air Force Base in California to Robert and Nancy Lovelis. She was a loving little girl with a bright smile, as evidenced by any photo you see of her. She went on to attend Viewmont High School where she graduated in 1974.

Debbie met her high school sweetheart Stephan Jay Bown and together they were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on Nov 18, 1977. They went on to have four children: Melita, Jay Stephan, Jeremiah Robert, and Jenica. A few years after Steve passed she was blessed to meet the second love of her life Victor J Lewis. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on November 22, 1993 combining to have seven children. Soon came two more children, their daughters Serena and Ciera.

To know Debbie was to love her, as her many dear friends can attest. She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She served in a number of callings and loved them all. Debbie especially loved hosting gatherings at her home. Many conference weekends, Thanksgivings, and Christmases have been spent with good company in their cozy log cabin - “The Lewis Lodge”. Debbie loved sewing; she was a professional seamstress and enjoyed teaching each of her granddaughters how to sew this past summer. Her and Vic loved going on adventures including hiking, river rafting, and road tripping with their friends.

Debbie is survived by her husband Victor J Lewis and children Melita (Guy) Adair, Jayce (Tami) Lewis, Lance (Julie) Lewis, Jay (Angie) Bown, Jeremy (Ashley) Bown, Katrina Lewis, Jenica (Trate) Daniels, Serena Lewis, and Ciera (Chase) Stephan as well as her mother Nancy Lee Lovelis and sister Cyndi Hill. She has 18 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by Stephan Jay Bown and her father, Robert Lovelis.

The family would like to thank the wonderful care teams at Bristol Hospice and Huntsman Cancer Institute for taking care of our beloved Debbie.
