Stanley Roy Lewis

Stan Lewis was born in Long Branch, New Jersey on April 24, 1947 and grew up in the Jersey Shore area through his high school years at Long Branch High School. He then went on to earn a BS in Pharmacy and an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he became a lifelong Tar Heel fan. He is survived by three children: Nancy Lewis of Graham, North Carolina, Hunter Lewis of Bimingham, Alabama, and John Lewis of Atlanta, Georgia and his wife Tyler. And also by step-daughter Michelle Crow of Atlanta, Georgia. He has four grandchildren: Frances and Smith Lewis of Birmingham, Milllie Lewis of Graham, and Fletcher Lewis of Atlanta. His sole surviving sibling is his dear sister Marti Lewis of New York City. Last and hardly least, his compelling friend Oleta Powers of Dahlonega, Georgia. Stan was predeceased by his parents Wilbur (1990) and Eleanor Lewis (2014), two brothers, Russ (2005) and Paul (2016) and a terrific great uncle Harold (1983). Stan had bookend careers in retail pharmacy, first in metro Washington D.C. and last in Dahlonega, Georgia. In between, he spent 36 years in the petrochemical industry in various sales and business management positions which took him to Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and back to Georgia. These jobs afforded him some great travel opportunities throughout the US and internationally. Stan was a member of Dahlonega United Methodist Church. He was a co-founder of the Garden Hills Pool and Park Association, which in the early 1980s became the prototypical model of leasing under-utilized City of Atlanta public pools and upgrading the services, facility and staff for the entire community to enjoy. He served on the board of the Rainbow Children's Home. He was active in the Georgia Pharmacy Association. He enjoyed travel, playing golf, most sports and especially cooking and hospitality. He really enjoyed the fellowship of the Tuesday morning Achasta Men’s bible study group and the ensuing golf game. In lieu of flowers, it was Stan’s request that donations be made to the Rainbow Children’s Home, Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University, or the American Cancer Society. In loving memory, there will be a celebration of Stan’s life held at Dahlonega Funeral Home on April 1 at 10 am.
