Patricia Lewis

Patricia "Pat" Irene Lewis, 79, died on August 31, 2025 at a local hospital in Lake Charles.

Ms. Lewis was born in Nashville, Tennessee to John and Irene Swain Lewis on May 21, 1946.

She graduated from High School in Nashville, Tennessee, and after moving to Lake Charles, she worked as an administrative assistant in the medical field.

Affectionally known to her family as Mimi, she will be remembered for her artistic nature, with a love for writing poetry and crafting. She enjoyed spending time with her family, tending to her flowers, bird-watching, and had a soft spot for any stray animal that showed up on her doorstep.

She was preceded in death by her parents (John and Irene), daughter in law, Lisa Bergeron Bryan, grandchildren: Patricia and Elizabeth, and two great grandchildren.

She is survived by her son, David Bryan; daughter, Deonna Liprie (Randy); seven grandchildren: Chanda Antonio (Benjie), Lori Young, Amy Judice (Garrett), Megan Beard (Jared), Matthew Liprie, Amanda Bryan, and Samantha Hardey (Stefan); and eight great grandchildren: Trinity, Kaylin, Riley, Reid, Michael, Beau, Lucas, and Lila.

The cremation will be handled by Simple Traditions by Johnsons Funeral Home, and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

“When I come to the end of the day and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long and not without your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared – miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It’s all part of the Maker’s plan, a step on the road home. When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds – miss me, but let me go.”
