Dorothy Marie Allen Lewis, 78

Dorothy Marie Allen Lewis, 78, passed away on March 15, 2014, in Springdale, Ark.

“She has flown home to be with her beloved Al G. Lewis, and her son Norris Wayne St John.”

 Marie was preceded in death by her husband, Albert G. Lewis; son, Norris Wayne St. John; her parents, Grover Cleveland and Esther Zephania Allen; and her four siblings, Flora, Amos, Garnett and Cora.

Marie was born and raised in Fort Payne, Ala., and attended college at Berea, Ky.

She married William N. St. John and spent the next 16 years moving all over the world with him and the United States Army. They had five children together.

Marie moved to Kalispell in 1975 and married Al Lewis in 1977, making their home in Columbia Falls. Marie and Al were very active in their faith and traveled all over the United States and Canada to attend Bible student conventions. They were fortunate to travel to Israel together and we all have fond memories of their trip.

Marie is survived by her four children, Tina St. John-Horner and Bill, Marlys St. John-Ball and Don, William Randall St. John and Angela St. John. She has six fantastic grandchildren, and 12 awesome great-grandchildren. Marie lived for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; they were her world. She also has numerous nieces and nephews who will miss her.

At Marie's request, graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 25, at Glacier Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 2659 Highway 93 N, Kalispell.

Columbia Mortuary is caring for Marie's family.
