Marcy leaves two sons, Donald D. Lewis of Youngstown and Michael (Glaydas) Lewis, with whom she shared her home; 11 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; a sister, Inez Rae York of Tucson, Ariz.; and a daughter-in-law, Jody Lewis of Youngstown.

Her husband of 54 years, Donald J. Lewis, whom she married Sept. 24, 1951, passed away March 13, 2006. A daughter, Barbara Hardung; a son, James Lewis; and three brothers, Patrick, Jack, and Benjamin Kelley, also preceded her in death.

Committal services will follow at Green Haven Memorial Gardens in Austintown, where Marcy will be laid to rest next to her husband.

Marcy’s family sincerely thanks and gives a “big shout-out” to all the staff with Hospice of the Valley for the kindness shown and care given to Mrs. Lewis and her family; the administrative staff, nurses, chaplain, nurse’s aides, and managers involved with “mom’s” care all went above and beyond, and the Lewis family greatly appreciates everyone’s compassion.
