Memorial

Maire Isabella Lewis was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on December 16, 1932. She died at the age of 92 on January 11, 2025, in Littleton, Colorado. Maire had a long and full life, starting in Toronto with her Finnish parents Irja and George Mattila, to whom she was an only child. In 1952 she married Dr. Richard Kerr Merriam (died 1968). They lived in Middleton, Nova Scotia, Montreal, Quebec, and Red Deer, Alberta, with their 3 children: Janet, Rick, and Nancy. In 1970 Maire and her children moved to Calgary, Alberta where she bought a shop, La Boutique, with a friend from Montreal, and it was there that she met Hiram (Hi) Lewis Jr. (died 2012) whom she married in 1974. Their life together took them from Calgary to Denver, McCoy, and Colorado Springs, Colorado, and finally to Borrego Springs, California. In 2013 she moved to Littleton, CO.

 

Maire loved her family, her friends, art, flowers, gardening, painting, making things beautiful, and entertaining her extended family. She played golf and mean games of bridge and scrabble. She was also quite strong-willed and affectionately called “the Admiral” by her family.

 

Maire is survived by her daughter, Janet Paul, of Littleton, CO, her son, Rick Merriam (Patti) of Calgary, her daughter Nancy Merriam (George (Skip) Brunner) of Haddonfield, NJ, and step-sons Hi Lewis III (Bronwen) and Zach Lewis (Frances) of Wichita, KS, along with 10 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She was loved like a mother by many people, and will be dearly missed by all.

 

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent to a charity of choice. To plant trees in her memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
