SARAH VIOLA FLOURNOY LEWIS

Grave side services for Sarah Viola Flournoy Lewis, 81, of Huntington, were held Thursday, August 1, 2024, at Chinquapin Cemetery in Chinquapin Community of San Augustine County with Bro. Lamar Denby and Bro. Lloyd Durrett officiating. She passed away July 29, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in Jasper, Texas.

Mrs. Lewis was born on April 8, 1943, in Patroon Community of Shelby County to Arbie Alex Flournoy and Zelma Viola Wilkinson Flournoy. She graduated from Center High School, Panola College, and Stephen F. Austin University with a Homemaking Degree. She taught homemaking classes at Apple Springs High School and Beckville High School until her oldest son was born. She then was a dedicated wife and mother raising her two sons, later returning to work at Lufkin Federal Credit Union where she worked for 20 years.

She helped with the local Weight Watchers programs, taught Bible classes and assisted with Vacation Bible Schools where she was a member of Highway Baptist Church in Huntington. Most of all Sarah loved with her whole heart, from cheering her boys (husband, sons, and grandsons) in whatever sports they were participating in, to decorating every inch of her house for Christmas for all her family to celebrate together.

She is survived by her husband of 58 years, John Douglas Lewis of Huntington; children, Cary Lewis and wife Courtney of Spring, and Michael Lewis and wife Elizabeth of Lexington, South Carolina; grandsons, Cory and Carter Lewis of Spring, and Ian and Tate Lewis of Lexington, South Carolina; brother, Guy Flournoy of Shreveport, Louisiana; sister, Rachel Brannon and husband Ronnie of Hallsville, Texas; brother-in-law, George Duke of Timpson; sisters-in-law Dorothy Flournoy of Longview, and Carolyn Flournoy of Tenaha; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
