Agnes Lewis

Agnes Arlene Lewis, 82, of Colby, was called home on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, at Citizens Medical Center. She was born May 30, 1938, in Sheridan County to Albert and Ella (Hesterberg) Detjen. On August 24, 1963, Agnes married Larry Lewis and to this union, two children were born. When the kids were young, Agnes ran a daycare and did ironing for people. Over the years, she also worked as a bank teller at several banks. She also was a school bus driver and really enjoyed all the little kids. She cleaned many offices around town and served the breakfast buffet at the Holiday Inn Express. Agnes enjoyed making ceramics, going to garage sales and cheering on the Denver Broncos and KU Jayhawks. She volunteered every Wednesday as a Pink Lady at the hospital. However, her favorite pastime was tending to her huge garden.
