Margie Lucille Kiser Lewis, 90, of Mena, passed on March 29, 2024. She was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Glen Lewis.
Margie was born in the Sulphur Springs community in August 1933 to Pearl Lee Hughes Kiser and James Edward “Ed” Kiser, both deceased. She is also predeceased by her three sisters, Emily Fryar, Edna Simpson, and Velma Simpson.
Margie and Glen married in November 1950 and spent the next many years dedicating their lives to the betterment of their children and grandchildren.
Margie is survived by two sons: Randy Lewis (June) and John Lewis (Diane); two daughters: Dianne Law (Gale) and Margaret Overton (Myles); and predeceased by a daughter: Anita Griffin (John). She had eleven grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren.
Margie found much joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and special friends.
Margie and Glen each came from humble beginnings and through hard work, God’s blessings and good fortune provided their family a strong foundation. They owned and operated a successful auto parts store in Mena for over 25 years. There is no doubt from anyone that knew Margie that she was a great woman who loved her family, and by all accounts, had a wonderful, blessed life. She had great strength and dedication to all that she loved.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to Norman Historic Preservation Program or the Little Hope Baptist Church. Margie will be buried beside Glen at Hillside Cemetery in Sulphur Springs, the same location that Glen and Margie met over 70 years ago at a Decoration. The graveside Memorial Service will be held at Hillside Cemetery on April 6, 2024, at 10 a.m.
