Barbara U. Lewis, 95, of Gloucester Point, Virginia, passed away on Oct. 9, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and devotion to her family and community.

Born on Aug. 16, 1931 in Virginia, Barbara lived a life marked by grace, strength, and steadfast Christian faith. She was a loving, faith-filled, and friendly woman whose presence brought comfort and joy to those around her. Throughout her life, she carried herself with kindness and dignity, and she was known for the warmth of her smile and the sincerity of her heart.

Barbara excelled in high school basketball, where her determination and natural ability were evident early in life. That same spirit of dedication carried into her working years, where she retired as an Accounting Technician at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. She took pride in her work and was respected for her reliability, diligence, and quiet professionalism.

A devoted Christian and longtime member of Gloucester Point Baptist Church, Barbara lived her faith in everyday ways through the love she showed her family and the compassion she extended to others. She found joy in simple blessings and treasured the moments that brought her closest to the people she loved. She especially loved working in her yard, taking family trips to the Outer Banks, playing slot machines in Atlantic City, dancing, grabbing lunch at Wendy’s or Taco Bell, and spending time with family and friends. These pleasures reflected her appreciation for life and the happiness she found in shared memories.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, William Lorion Lewis Jr. She is survived by her children, Ricky D. Lewis and his wife Linda of Suffolk, Virginia, and Ronald C. Lewis and his wife Judy of Gloucester Point. She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Ronald Christopher Lewis and his wife Jennifer of Hayes, Virginia, Kelsey Lewis DiCesare and her husband Brian of Moseley, Virginia, Krista Loren Lewis of Newport News, Virginia, and William Charles Lewis and his wife Junieth of Hayes, along with five great-grandchildren.
