Robbie Lee Lewis was born June 5th, 1922 in Grayson County to Robert Ellis and Annie Willoughby. She graduated from Van Alstyne high school and then attended Business School in Dallas. She married Grady Ross Lewis from Gunter in 1940.
Robbie worked in a tailor shop in Gunter for a few years. Then she started working for Texas Instruments in Richardson as a QC Tech and later transferred to the Sherman plant. She retired early after 21 years of service to take care of her husband.
They enjoyed traveling, especially to Branson, Eureka Springs, Red River and all over Colorado. She loved her family more than anything and enjoyed having the grandkids stay overnight. She especially loved Christmas and the singing of Christmas carols. In her later years, she still wanted to be kept up-to-date with all the things going on in each family.
She reached her 100th birthday this year on June 5th and was overjoyed to have all her family members at the celebration. Some she had not seen since before Covid and was so happy to give and get hugs!
Robbie is survived by children, Sharon Givens and husband Wendell, Mike Lewis and wife Patricia, Vicki Dosser and husband Jerry, and Alan Lewis and wife, Theresa. Grandchildren: Dee Ann Lewis, Blaine Cantrell & wife Angela, Darren Ross Lewis, Amy Reed and husband, Roger, Mandy Turner, Christi Light and husband Jared, Misti Ranton and husband, Shon, Trent Cox and wife, Jessica, Grady Lewis and fianc, Holly Ambers. 19 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great grandchildren.
Robbie is preceded in death by her late husband, Grady Ross Lewis, her parents, son-in-law, Phil Cantrell, and her sisters Faye Minton, Era Akers, Lera Avery and Annie Mae Grimes.
The family would like to thank Beacon Hill in Denison which was her home for the last 9 years. They loved and treated her like their own family member. She loved her caretakers dearly and they were amazed at her memory and quick wit, and storytelling.
