Ada Mae Lewis Martin died at Merit Health River Region Jan. 29. She was 82.

She was the daughter of Willie and Lutra Lewis. 

She was a lifelong member of Mount Olivet United Methodist Church. After moving to Vicksburg, she was blessed to find a new church home and friends at Gibson Memorial United Methodist Church.

She is survived by her brother, Billy Lewis; daughters, Pam Powers, Deborah (Charlie) Whitefield, Judy (Victor) Mello; son Vaiden Martin; grandchildren, Frank (Kayla) Burrell, Jessica (Chris) Bibler and Kelsey Whitefield; great-grandchildren, Alex, Peyton, Max, Cole, Adalyn and Logan; great-great-grandchildren, Dawson, Oakley and Lyric; and some very special nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Vaiden; granddaughter, Jennifer; and brother J.B. Lewis.

Ada loved her family and always welcomed anyone into her home. Her greatest joy was the untold number of people that gathered around her table for just coffee, cake and conversation, or the huge holiday feast she prepared for so many years. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Her unconditional love for her family and friends will be forever missed.
