JoAnn Lewis

May 1, 1933 — May 30, 2025

Atlantic

JoAnn Morris Lewis, 92, of Atlantic, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2025.

Born and raised in Atlantic, JoAnn was a devoted daughter to the late Adron Clyde Morris and Mable Fulcher Morris. She spent her early professional life as a registered X-ray technician at Watts Hospital in Durham, NC. Later, she began a long and fulfilling career at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she worked for 24 years until her retirement.

JoAnn was endlessly curious and always enjoyed expressing herself creatively. She enjoyed traveling abroad, immersing herself in the richness of other cultures and histories. A devoted reader throughout her life, she especially loved a good mystery. Her artistic side shone through in her painting, and she cherished time spent working on puzzles and playing board games.

She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and her family brought her great joy. JoAnn is survived by her son, Jack Donald Lewis Jr., and his wife Donna; her granddaughter, Amanda Lewis Dixon, and husband Zack; her great-grandson, Logan Jericho Dixon; her niece Paula Gillikin and her husband Mark, her niece Claudia Morris; and her nephew Julian Gaskill and his wife Theresa.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jack Donald Lewis Sr.; her daughter, Sharon Ann Lewis, and Sharon’s husband, Claude Lewis; her son, Adron Daniel Lewis; and her sister, Emma Louise Morris, and her husband Phillip Morris.

Family and friends are invited to visit starting at 1 pm on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at Atlantic Missionary Baptist Church. The funeral service will follow at 2 pm, with interment immediately after at Nelson Bay Cemetery.

JoAnn will be remembered for her warmth, intelligence, and the love she gave so freely to all who knew her.
