Patricia B. Lewis, 80, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully Monday, January 13, 2025, in The Harbor Assisted Living facility in Pearland, Texas. She was born October 1, 1944, in Charleston, to the late Malvin Dewight Brown and Sylvia Jones Brown.
A beloved daughter, sister, mother and friend, Pat’s life was marked by her unwavering love for her family, her unabashed willingness to speak truth to power, and her spiritual upbringing.
Patricia was one of eight children who maintained a close- knit family bond despite being separated from her siblings as a child after the unexpected death of her mother. She persevered and graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School on June 8, 1962.
She was married to Albert R. Lewis Jr (deceased) May 30, 1964, in Morgantown, where she shared a rich, fulfilling life with him.
Over the years, Pat held a number of positions, including working as a switchboard operator, and a painting finisher at Davis and Lynch Glass Factory. She obtained her accounting certificate from West Virginia Junior College before spending over 30 years at Mon General Hospital in the accounts payable department, where she truly made her mark, leaving behind lasting relationships with her colleagues.
A devoted member of St. Paul AME Church in Morgantown, where she was a Stewart and usher, Pat was known for her warm, giving spirt and her love for spending time with those closest to her.
She was an avid sports fan and found joy in bowling, watching her Mountaineers, playing cards, and the occasional trip to the casino. Her family and friends will always remember Pat for her big smile, infectious laugh and the joy she brought playfully teasing anyone in reach.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents; her late husband; her siblings, Linda K. Ballard, Anita L. Brown, Merle O. Brown, and Michael Q. Brown Sr.; as well as her beloved son, Lamar D. Lewis.
She is survived by her sisters, Anne K. Myers of Charlotte, N.C., and Debra L. Thompson of Upper Marlboro, Md.; brother, Gerald A. (Beverly) Brown of Inglewood, Calif.; her sons, Aaron J. Lewis of Morgantown, and Albert Ron (Altonet) Lewis III of Manvel, Texas; her stepdaughter, Rochelle (Clark) Brown of Hagerstown, Md.; and bonus son, Trey’Shawn Lewis of Morgantown. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Nia Brown, Quinton Lewis, Troy Lewis, Kamron Lewis and Jarred Lewis; as well as a host of nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.
Patricia’s life touched so many, and her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
The family invites friends and loved ones to celebrate her life at Hastings Funeral Home, 153 Spruce Street, Morgantown, Thursday, January 30, from 4 to 7 p.m., and again Friday, January 31, from 10 until the time of the Going Home Service at 11 a.m., with Pastor Junius Lewis officiating.
