Norma G. Lewis (nee Tuft)

Hobart, Indiana

A beautiful, kind, and caring soul left this earth on Sunday, June 13, 2021, wrapped in the comfort and love of the Lord to be reunited with her loved ones who have gone before her in heaven. As she had always wished Norma Lewis, at age 88 yrs. old passed peacefully in her home with her family surrounding her. Born on December 4, 1932, she was the eldest of two children born to the late Nora (Tuthill) and Henry Tuft. She was raised in the Miller section of Gary graduating from Wirt High School. Following High School, she worked as a secretary at Inland Steel for several years. Sweeping her off her feet, she met the love of her life, (the late) Albert Lewis while standing up in Al's youngest brother's wedding. They married on June 20, 1952, raising three children living in the Aetna section of Gary, and later moving to Hobart.

A devout Christian Norma loved spending her time with her family and serving others. She loved her church, Augustana Lutheran in Hobart where she taught Sunday School, was in charge of Altar Guild, read lessons, directed women's church cluster meetings, and led and hosted women's bible studies.

Norma worked for the School City of Hobart beginning in 1967 as an Assistant Librarian at the High School which lead to an Administrative Assistant position for the Superintendent in Hobart. Norma was proud and honored to work with so many wonderful people from her colleagues to the teachers, and the bus drivers. She wore many hats, but loved those years retiring from there in 1994.

Norma will always be remembered as a loving, compassionate, caring woman who loved her family and friends. She is survived by her daughter, Cindy (Kent) Lewis, sons, Bill (Shirley) Lewis, Dan (Karen) Lewis, Nine grandchildren; Ryan (Lindsay) Lewis, Danielle (Eric) Philipps, Justin Lewis, Austin Lewis, Farris Lewis, Nicholas Lewis, Nicole (Greg) Temple, Katelyn (Sean) Gore and Samantha Lewis; Four great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Norma was preceded in death by her husband of 63 yrs., Albert Lewis; her parents, Nora and Henry Tuft and her brother, Douglas Tuft.
