Wilma Marlene Lewis of Rockville passed away at home on Wednesday, March 9, 2022.
Marlene was born May 15, 1936, at Greencastle, to Earl and Mary Bemis, and was greeted at home by several brothers and sisters.
In 1958, she married the love of her life, Ralph (Moe) Lewis, and they remained married until his passing in 2014. Together they had three children, Steve (Joyce) Lewis, Mark Lewis and Pam Shelton. She also was a mother to niece Rosie and nephew Paul Morgan while their father served in the Navy. A lot of the children’s friends and neighborhood children referred to her as Mom.
Surviving, along with her children, are grandchildren, LeAnn (Mike McCormick) Lewis, Nicole (Ryan) Olinger, Dr. Stephanie (Kyle Schulz) Lewis, Lora (Noel) Shelton, Dennis Shelton, Cristy (Erick) Singleton, Shannon Gray, Melanie Gray, Christine (Kurt) Bretney, Matthew Luzader, and Steve Dunkel, who blessed her with 16 great-grandchildren.

She loved each and everyone with all her heart.
Marlene loved puzzles, playing Phase 10, and even playing Barbie’s, after the girls had gone home.
She also enjoyed living and playing on Raccoon Lake, and always looked forward to family and friends gathering together and sharing stories.
Cremation has been chosen and a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
