Dorothy, affectionately known to many as "Mrs. Doy", was a homemaker who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She cherished moments spent cooking and baking, tending to her ivy plants, and listening to Zydeco music on her front porch while rocking to the beat. She dedicated her life to caring for others, often serving as a neighborhood babysitter and providing a nurturing presence for many young ones. 

In death, Dorothy Lewis leaves behind a legacy of love, care, and joy that will be cherished by her children, grandchildren, sisters, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. May her memory be a blessing and may she rest in eternal peace.
