DeVere "Dee" Lewiston
April 18, 1927 - January 27, 2017
Dee Lewiston was born April 18, 1927 to Roy and Ella Mae Lewiston in Woodward, IA. He passed away Friday, January 27, 2017 surrounded by his family at Taylor House Hospice in Des Moines. Dee was an Army Veteran who proudly served his country in World War II until his honorable discharge. He was known to have a great sense of humor and had many funny and off the wall sayings, that will be remembered and used in his name, for years to come. Dee always said “if you can’t make someone smile in the day, then the day is wasted.” Being a stubborn Norwegian and hard worker, he provided for his wife and four sons as a carpenter. He was a member of Carpenters Local Union 106 and cut and sold firewood for many years. Dee will be missed by his loving wife, Mary; sons, Chris (Susan) Lewiston, Randy Lewiston, Matt Lewiston and Dan (Kristie) Lewiston; grandchildren, Tara (Michael) Vitosh and their children, Taylor Anthony, Tommy Anthony, Trevor Anthony, T.J. Anthony and Tristan Vitosh, Jay (Jennifer) Lewiston and their children, Alec and Aksel Lewiston, Ben (Shanda) Lewiston, Branden Lewiston (Alexis Feliciano) Justin Lewiston, Megan Lewiston, Michael Lewiston and Jackie Lewiston. He was preceded in death by a great-grandchild, Evie. No services are planned at this time and memorial contributions may be made to the family. Dyamond Memorial in Ankeny is helping the family.
