Sister Flossie Lewis Benjamin, daughter of the late Herbert L. Lewis, Sr. and Mary Agnes Lewis, was born on April 26, 1938. She departed this life on Saturday, October 2, 2021.
Sister Benjamin was a homemaker, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother during her lifetime. She was known for cooking huge meals and feeding many people who were impoverished. She also opened her home to many who were homeless in order to provide shelter to assist them with acquiring means to support themselves and improve their quality of life.
At an early age, Sister Benjamin joined Jones Chapel Baptist Church, and remained there until marriage. After marriage, she joined Calvary A.M.E. Church, where she faithfully served as the Missionary President and a member of the Stewardess Board.
She was preceded in death by: her husband of 50 plus years, John Benjamin; three sisters, Queenie Lewis, Cora Benjamin, and Julia Bell Geiger; and one brother, David Lewis, Sr.
Sister Flossie Lewis Benjamin is survived by: four sons, Herbert Lee (Robin) Lewis, Jr., Joseph Benjamin, Bernard (Miriam) Benjamin, and John Benjamin; two brothers, Henry (Hattie) Lewis and Reverend Harry (Mary) Lewis; fourteen grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends, all of whom will miss her dearly.
With deep sympathy to the family, I pray that you will be comforted with precious memories and God’s presence to care for you in your loss….
