Joan D. Lewis

Joan D. Lewis, of Cheektowaga, NY, formerly of Youngstown, NY, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 9, 2026.

Born on April 11, 1952, in Lewiston, NY, Joan was the daughter of the late Walter M. and Alice E. (Hillman) Gibson. Throughout her working years, Joan dedicated herself to caring for others as a Health Care Aide with several organizations, concluding her career as a home health care aide. Her compassion, kindness, and willingness to help those in need left a lasting impact on the many individuals and families she served.

Joan enjoyed life's simple pleasures. She loved attending bingo games, shopping with family and friends, and cheering on her beloved Buffalo Bills. Above all else, Joan treasured the time she spent with her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life. Whether attending their activities, sharing special moments, or simply spending time together, her greatest joy came from being a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother.

In addition to her parents, Joan was predeceased by her beloved brothers, Gale (the late Irene) Gibson and John Gibson.

She is survived by her loving children, Carolyn (Jeffrey) Lauzon and Terry (Kim) Lewis; her cherished grandchildren, Dakoda and Desirae; her adored great-granddaughter, Evelyn; her dear brothers, Melvin (Anne) Gibson, Frederick (Judy) Gibson, and Gerald (Liz) Gibson; and many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Arrangements have been entrusted to HARDISON FUNERAL HOMES, INC., 401 Ridge Street, Lewiston, NY. Services will be held privately and at the convenience of the family.
