Mrs. Lewis was an astute businesswoman and philanthropist who contributed much to her adopted community. Born in Wisconsin, she attended a prestigious finishing school in New York City, where she made friends with Maconite Vivian (Bib) Hay Anderson. While visiting Bib in Macon, she met her future husband, Logan Lewis. The popular Lewises, who had no children, achieved prominent social standings and great financial success with their investments in real estate, resident developments, office buildings, shopping centers and local banks. Logan Lewis died in 1966, and in 1979 Dorothy honored his memory by establishing the Dorothy V. and N. Logan Lewis Foundation, a charitable endeavor that was fully funded after her death. A devout Catholic, Dorothy Lewis traveled to Rome near the end of her life for an audience with the Pope. She served on the Riverside Cemetery Board of Directors for many years.
