Joan M. (Francis) Lewis, 87, of Wellsboro, passed away Tuesday June 3, 2025, at her home surrounded by family, following a courageous battle with cancer. She was born September 16, 1937, in Wellsboro, to Harold and Margaret (Keck) Francis. She graduated from high school, and on April 15, 1956, she married Donald E. Lewis, with whom she shared sixty-nine years of marriage. She and Don owned and operated Lewis Homes.
Joan was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Wellsboro for seventy years, and had been a long-time member of BPW. She had enjoyed bowling and golf, and the outdoors.
