Ms. Ellen E. Lewis,

August 3, 1932 - May 26, 2020

Ellen Eugene Lewis, daughter of Goldus and Alverta Hinton graced us with her spirit on August 3, 1932 in Towson, Maryland. On May 26, 2020, God decided Ellen’s work here on earth was done; he was ready to have His angel back. Ellen received her education in Baltimore County Public Schools. She spent most of her career as a security guard for Baltimore Housing Authority where she retired with multiple accolades. During this time, she fell in love and married Steve John Lewis. The two of them had nine children together. Ellen accepted the Lord as her personal Savior at New Rose of Sharon Baptist Church. She later made Siloam Freewill Baptist Church her permanent place of praise. Ellen joined Siloam over thirty years ago under the leadership of Pastor Ernest Wooten Jr. and remained a faithful member under her current Pastor, George Nicholson until her health began to fail. Ellen served as president of the Pastor’s Aide for 11 years, she was a member of the Missionary, and she sang on the Golden Age Choir. Ellen always had a word of encouragement for young women of Siloam and her beautiful smile will always be remembered. Ellen had many friends turned “family” while at Siloam, especially one special friend Sister Jeannie Walker whom she shared everything with. Ellen’s love and dedication for her children is unmatched. Even when her kids were adults, she made sure they knew she was still “The Boss”. She would give them that certain look and they knew she meant business. The same can be said for her grandchildren. She made sure they were thoroughly involved in church and dared them to play during service. Ellen was a devoted wife, mother, sister, niece, grandmother, and friend. Despite her not being here physically to give us hugs, advice, or go on car rides to McDonalds for ice cream, Ellen leaves with us her everlasting love, life lessons, and ministry. She joins in spirit three deceased children LaVerne, Carl, and Beverly, two grandsons Jamar and Carlos; Six living children Steve, Ellen, Tina, Lamont, Roy, Joyce, and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and one sister-in-law, Mary. Ellen’s essence will be missed by all those whose hearts she touched.
