Ressiva B.

Lewis

Ressiva Barron Lewis, 86, of Richmond, went to her heavenly home after a life fulfilled on March 1, 2026. She was born on June 10, 1939 to Ben and Omega Barron in Florence, South Carolina. Ressiva was a student of the South Carolina Department of Education graduating from Carver High School in 1956. She later married Lowery Issac Lewis, Sr. in 1958. They were the proud parents of four children. She was employed with AT&T, which was later named Lucent Technologies, where she retired as a shop steward supervisor in 2001.

She was a woman who loved her family, loved to cook and bake, loved to travel with her husband, and loved bowling! Sundays at the Lewis home was a tradition, not just for family, for everyone. Her heart was always giving, and their door was always open. Both she and her husband Lowery raised an entire family with a solid foundation based on love. The meals they've cooked, the support they've given, and the traditions they've created will live in our hearts forever.

In addition to her parents, Ressiva was also preceded in death by her husband, Lowery Issac Lewis, Sr., three of their four children, Jerry Lee, Lowery Jr., and Barbara Ann and three grandchildren.

She leaves a legacy of love in the hearts of her only living daughter, Stella Mae Lewis, seven grandchildren; a host of great grandchildren;  devoted brother-in-law, Willie J. Lewis, other relatives and friends.
