Obituary

Donald B. Lewis, 68, of Prospect Park and St. Petersburg, FL died after a short, courageous battle with cancer on June 17, 2019 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Born in Darby, he was the son of Elizabeth Butz Husson Anderson and resided in Lansdowne before moving to his late residence 47 years ago.

Don was a graduate of Upper Darby High School, class of 1968 and he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Penn State University in 1972. Don was a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator and was employed at St. Vincent's Seminary for the last 38 years as an Operations Manager/Administrator before retiring in January 2019. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Lansdowne and Maximo Presbyterian Church in St. Pete, where he sang in the choir and with First Light Praise Group. Don was also a member of the Philly Pops Festival Chorus and the Neumann University Choir.

He touched many young athletes' lives over the years as a coach and officer for the Prospect Park Youth Club as well as being a softball umpire through out the Delaware County area. Don was the Varsity Girls' Soccer Coach and Middle School Boys' Soccer Coach for many years at Interboro and he was a School Board Director while his daughters were in school. Don was incredibly selfless and dedicated his life to helping others. He just wanted to be remembered as kind and loving, and he sure was!

He was predeceased by his brother, Gary Lewis; and his brother-in-law, John Welsh.

Don is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, M. Kathryn "Kate" Welsh Lewis; his adored daughters, Dawn Hope McCaskill (Sean) and Jill Ward (Mike); his cherished grandchildren, Kevin Mathis, Kyle Mathis, Anne McCaskill, Jon Mathis, Josh Mathis, Connor Ward, Ellie Ward and AJ Ward; also, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
