    Lewis Ivan Lilly

    June 28, 1945 - February 6, 2022

    Lewis Ivan Lilly, 76, passed away February 6. 2022 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on June 28, 1945, to the late Ray and Clarice Lilly. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife Clara Moore Lilly; sister Jackie Spivak; brothers Gary and David Meadows. He is survived by his son Thomas Ivan Lilly; daughter Angela Bennett and husband David; grandchild Lilly Bennett; brothers Danny and Ray Meadows; and sister Sonya Chapman. Lewis owned and operated Eastern Communications for 45 years in Rocky Mount and provided services to multiple emergency agencies, businesses, and private citizens. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was a beekeeper for several years and loved to watch nature and the many birds in his yard. He was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his family. While he loved his family, his pride and joy was his granddaughter, Lilly. He loved to watch her play volleyball, try to stump her on any fact or figure, and would brag about her to anyone that would listen. Lewis was known for his dry sense of humor and stoic personality, but he was always willing to pull a prank or practical joke. A visitation with family and friends will be held at 2:00pm at Cornerstone Funeral Home on Saturday, February 12, 2022. A memorial service will follow at 3:00pm in the chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice of Nash. The family asks for mask-wearing and social distancing as possible in order to keep everyone safe due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
