LOGAN, UTAH: Frances Lucille Miller Lewis died at her home on January 6, 2015.
She was born April 1, 1921 in Houston, Texas to Earl Marshall and Bessie Velma Miller. She graduated from John H. Reagan High School where she had participated in the Reagan Redcoats Drill Team. She married Albert Raymond Lewis, Jr., the boy next door, and her high school sweet- heart on March 17, 1939 in Collins Methodist Church where she and her family had attended since her early childhood.
She and Albert continued to be active in the Methodist church, serving in many leadership positions, and were the leaders in founding Chapelwood Methodist Church in Spring Branch. She also served in the Eastern Star. They were living in Lockhart, Texas in 1971 when they began missionary lessons for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were sealed in the Manti Temple a year later.
