Obituary for Mildred Faye Lewis

MILDRED FAYE LEWIS

Mildred Faye Lewis, of Batesville, and formerly of Connersville, passed away on Saturday, January 2, 2021, at St. Andrews Health Campus. The daughter of Alvin and Eliza (Collins) Retzner was born on September 22, 1937, in Whitesburg, Kentucky.  Faye was 83 years old.

The 1956 Sunman High School graduate was a loving mother and grandmother. Faye, as most knew her by, loved all of her cats. Cooking was her specialty, and she was known for her goulash and chicken n’ dumplings. Faye always enjoyed the outdoors, including fishing, camping and going to yard sales too. She liked to do puzzles and crosswords in her spare time. But being a grandma was probably the most special to her.   

She will be missed by her son Jimmy (Sherri) Mobley of Batesville, Beth (Don) Hoegeman of Batesville and Renae (Kevin) Woodhull of Rushville; 10 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.
