It is with sad hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Dolores Neva (Lewis) Mootz, Saturday, June 22, 2024 at her home surrounded by family.
She was a wonderful mother, always there to help out in anyway she could, giving her love, support and wisdom along the way.
Dolores was born November 1, 1929, to William Marion Lewis and Sarah Ada Viola (Dimond) Lewis in Greene County, OH. In her senior year, her family moved to a farm in Spring Valley, where she was the artist for her high school newspaper. After graduating high school she went to work at Hobart as a secretary. On March 7, 1948, she married Duane Millard Mootz, then beginning the real work of her life, raising 12 children on she and Duane's farm near Danville. In her later years, after most of her children were raised, she went to work as a cook at several area restaurants.
