In Memory
Lee Ann (Worman) Lewis
Nov. 7, 1955 - Aug. 27, 2026
Lee Ann Lewis, 70, of Danville, CA went to heaven on August 27, 2026 following a year-long battle with multiple medical challenges. She was born November 7, 1955 in Atlanta, GA to Louis and Maxine Worman, who predeceased her. Lee's older brother, Gary (Mary) Worman survives.
The Worman family moved several times in her youth, landing in South Bend, IN in the early 1970s. Lee graduated from Clay High School and went on to attend Indiana University (Bloomington) where she earned a BS in Microbiology in 1978. She married William R (Bill) Lewis 48 years ago on a snowy day in January in the Sacred Heart Basilica at Notre Dame. Lee was a champion racquetball player and a member of the synchronized swimming team at IU.
Lee was the amazing mother of William (Bill) Lewis III, Parker (Sarah Gordon) Lewis and Kelsey (Paul) Burgin and was absolutely thrilled to be the loving "Mimi" to Rhys and Lea Burgin and Chloe Lewis. Playing with, reading to, and watching them grow up brought her immeasurable joy.
For nearly 25 years, Lee was the beloved librarian at St Isidore School in Danville, CA, retiring in late 2020. Famous for her elaborate themed "book fairs," she absolutely loved the books and the kids - especially picking exactly the right book for each child. St Isidore alumni would greet her in a store or on a sidewalk and thank her for the impact she had on their young lives.
In addition to being a selfless friend and voracious reader, Lee was always in motion - morning workouts, long runs/walks and taking care of her yard were mandatory daily activities. Local residents would approach Lee at the coffee shop or at a park with the greeting "you're the lady I see running all over town, right?"
Lee's favorite "happy place" was San Diego, especially when her family was with her. A morning workout, a run around Mission Bay, a family coffee hour at Starbucks and a beautiful sunset made for the perfect day.
Lee has always been the heart and soul of the Lewis family, and we will constantly miss her loving presence.
The Mass of Christian Burial for Lee will be held at 10:30am on Thursday September 17, 2026 at St. Isidore Catholic Church in Danville, CA.
