Theresa Lewis

Theresa Lynn Middlemist Lewis was the fourth child born to Garold and Geraldine Middlemist on January 8, 1962, and passed away July 10, 2025. She grew up on the family farm, east of Deer Trail and attended Deer Trail School all twelve years. Following her graduation, she attended business school. Her love for the farm and all things livestock never left her heart and the dream of once again having her own herd was always there.

She was a quick study, never afraid to learn to operate anything with a motor and wheels. She worked for Amoco, Clean Harbors Hazardous Waste facility and also operated her own residential/construction cleaning business, Mops & Brooms.

She married Jesse Lewis and together they had a son, Sam, who was the absolute light of her life.

Theresa had a zest for life that was unmatched, and she loved hard. She made friends wherever she went and never knew a stranger. Even as she struggled with her many health issues, she kept all her medical providers on their toes with her constant banter and teasing. Though always pushing the envelope, she fought hard to overcome each crisis, and her resilience and tenacity amazed us all. We are forever grateful to the Lord for his grace and mercy on her life.

Theresa is survived by her son Sam (Tayler), grand babies Slayte and ElliAnna, her mother Geraldine, and her siblings: Greg (Debbie), Kathy, Elizabeth (Steve), sister-in-law Kim, and many nieces/nephews, great and great-great nieces/nephews.

She is preceded in death by her father, Garold, her husband Jesse, and her brother, Andy.
