Mrs. Bonnie Mae Ryan Lewis, age 75 of Stuart, Virginia passed away at her home on December 28, 2024. She was born in Sidney, New York on January 11, 1949, to the late Garland Leland Ryan and Gertrude Bell Reynolds Ryan. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one grandson, Jonathon Umbach; and three brothers, Jackie Ryan, Leland Ryan, and Larry Ryan. Bonnie was an incredible person; she was selfless, forgiving, and always put her family first. Although not in the military herself she soldiered through the Vietnam War as her husband served. She loved animals and they flocked to her wherever she went, so much so she was affectionately called “Snow White”. Bonnie fought a long hard fight; her last wish was to be home for Christmas, and she was. To her family, she was their rock, foundation, and North Star.
Left to cherish the memories of Bonnie are her beloved husband of 58 years, John D. Lewis of the home; two children, Garland George Lewis (Karen) of Stuart and Ginger Mae Schultz (Michael) of Stuart; four grandchildren, Michayla Towers (Brock), Andrea Smith, Andrew Price, and Michael-Alan Green; one great-granddaughter, Anastasia Goldie Benfield; one sister, Cindy Palmer (Jim) of Unadilla, New York; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved service dog, Dixie.
All services for Mrs. Lewis will be private. Moody Funeral Home in Stuart has been entrusted with the services and online condolences may be sent by visiting www.moodyfuneralservices.com.
