Cindy Anne Lewis, passed away on July 6, 2025, at the age of 56. She was born on May 24, 1969, to Tim and Lillian Zerkle.
Cindy was the visionary behind Lewis Adventure Farm & Zoo, a cherished destination in the community. What began as a simple farm market blossomed under her leadership into a vibrant agritourism haven, filled with joy, family memories, and an extraordinary love for animals. From alpacas to zebras, Cindy poured her heart into every corner of the farm, sharing her passion and warmth with all who visited. Her ever-present smile and boundless energy made her a light to everyone who crossed her path.
Above all, Cindy was devoted to her family. She was a proud, loving wife and an incredibly dedicated mother. Her children were her greatest pride and joy, and she treasured the opportunity to work alongside them each day. She celebrated their accomplishments and character with deep gratitude and unwavering love.
Cindy is survived by her husband, Scott Lewis; her sons, Tyler (Becca) Lewis and Brandon (Makenna) Lewis; brothers, Tim (Patty) Zerkle and Jon (Jenny) Zerkle; and her father-in-law, Gary Lewis; as well as many cherished nieces and nephews, extended family, and countless friends who became family through the years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Tim and Lillian Zerkle, and her mother-in-law, Brenda Lewis.
Cindy's legacy will live on in the joy she created, the lives she touched, and the love she gave so freely. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the honor of knowing her.
There will be no services held at this time.
Harris Funeral Home, in Shelby, is in charge of arrangements.
