Kimberly Gay Lewis Aug. 31, 1971 ~ Oct. 13, 2012
October 03, 2012, 9:06 am by Staff Reports
Kimberly Gay Lewis, 41, of Manvel, Texas, passed away Oct. 13, at St. Lukes Episcopal Hospital in Houston. Lewis was born Aug. 31, 1971, at Shepperd Memorial Hospital in Burnet to Kenny and Karen Schaefer Lewis of Marble Falls. She was born with multiple handicaps, including being deaf. Her early years took her to the Texas School for the Deaf and her entire immediate family learned Sign Language.
At age 15, she enrolled in a program called Behavioral Training Research where she spent the remaining 26 positive and happy years. She made frequent visits to spend time with family back in the hill country.
Kim is preceded in death by grandparents Cecil and Bonnie Lewis of Smithwick and Billie Cowey of Marble Falls.
She is survived by her parents Kenny Lewis and wife Carol Lewis of Marble Falls, and mother Karen Schaefer of New Braunfels; grandparents Ed and Barbara Schaefer of Kerrville; brother Kody Lewis of New Braunfels; and sister Lindsay Lewis of Columbia, Mo.; stepsister Dawn Savoy and husband David of Houston; uncles and aunts Ronnie and Madeline Lewis of Bertram, and Dean and Kelly Schaefer of McAllen, Texas; nieces and nephews Alex, Nate, Angie and Kaiden of New Braunfels; and too many cousins to count.
Unfortunately, Kim’s life was filled with much pain and suffering; however, while with family and loved ones she could light up the room with her genuine smile. As a family that believes strongly that God has taken her to spend a life finally whole, with conversation and constant laughter enjoyed by her and the grandparents and great grandparents that have gone on before her to wait for day that has finally come. What a glorious day!
Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home
in Marble Falls. The funeral service will be held Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. at the Marble Falls Church of Christ. Interment will follow at Smithwick Cemetery.
