Tina Annette Lewis

Tina Annette Lewis, of West Jefferson, age 60, passed away peacefully on June 24th, 2025, with family and friends by her side.

Tina will be remembered as a loving mother, a devoted friend, and treasured daughter. She was known for her thoughtful gestures and warm and caring nature, always handing out complements and ready to lend a hand to support others however she could. She was what you could call a character, a true unicorn. She loved to be silly, make crude jokes, and she never let inhibition stand in her way of anything. Even at 60, she still lived as wild and free as she did in her 20’s. She was a social butterfly and beloved member of her small-town community. She loved to show her appreciation for others and went out of her way to let people know she truly cared for them. Her heart was warm and bright, and now she shines in heaven.

Tina is survived by her son, Tyler Saunders; her mother, Charlotte Lewis; her brother, Doug Lewis; as well as many loved ones and friends who will miss her tremendously, and will continue to hold her memory close in their hearts.

2 Corinthians 4:16 – 5:1 (NIV)

“Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.”

A Celebration of life will be held on Sunday, June 29th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM located at Ashe Park (in the Mt. Jefferson shelter)

Austin and Barnes Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the Lewis family.
