Family news...

Hello my friends and family…

I am sending you this quick e-mail to let you know, if you hadn’t heard already, that my mom, “Weezie”, passed away yesterday morning. I am including in this e-mail the obituary that my aunt & I wrote so you have more information… Thank you for your prayers and concern… You are a blessing!

Much love, Anita

W. Louise "Weezie" Amos Lewis Berkley, 65, went to be with her Lord on July 29, 2008 after a three year battle with lung cancer.

Born in Barwick, GA on January 25, 1943 to the late Frank Amos and the late Violet Amos Myers, Louise moved to Lee County with her family in 1945. She graduated from Fort Myers Senior High School in 1961 and took great pleasure in meeting old friends at annual class reunions. Louise was a long time member of Riverside Church. Her employers included United Telephone Company, Hole Montes, and the School District of Lee County.

Preceding her in death were daughters, Angeline and Angie Lewis, and sister Frances Amos Barber. She is survived by her daughter, Anita L. Lewis of Fort Myers and siblings, Nelson (Korin) Amos of Ypsilanti, MI, Janette (Brian) Christensen of North Fort Myers, Keith (Linda) Amos of Coral Springs, and Beverly (Kevin) Nobles of Alva, and many adored nieces and nephews. Her nieces and nephews meant the world to her. Even while battling cancer, she would do all she could to attend their weddings, graduations and other special events. Family was the most important thing to Louise. For the last 8 months or so, the local family members would gather and have dinner together every Wednesday night. She often commented about how much these outings meant to her.

Family and friends are invited to gather from 4:00-7:00 PM on Friday, August 1st at First Assembly of God, 4701 Colonial Avenue, Fort Myers with funeral services beginning at 6:00. (Private interment)

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Assembly of God, Riverside Church, or Hope Hospice of Fort Myers.
