ACTON — Marion F. Lewis, 66, of Acton, passed away at her home on May 26, 2015.
She was born in Scotland on Jan. 12, 1949, a daughter of the late Hamish and Isa Whyte.
Marion was a native of Sandbank, a small town in Scotland. She was very proud of her Scottish roots and “all things Scottish.”
As a young woman, she married a sailor and became a “Navy wife,” raising three “Navy brats.” She was devoted to her family and embraced the Navy life, enjoying the many people and places in her 20-plus years of service. Cooking and baking were a passion, though she was extremely talented, enjoying arts and crafts.
She is survived by: her husband of 49 years, Harry “Louie;” her sisters, Liz and Evelyn; her children, James and wife Charlotte, Lisa and husband Dave, and Jason and wife Sheila; and her grandchildren, Bryanna, Mackenzie, Morgan, Malcom, Joshua and Hannah.
In her home, all close friends were family.

Family and friends are invited to visit at the funeral home beginning at 11 a.m. until the time of the funeral service.
