Lynda Lewis Troxler -- known by all as Lyn and a special few as Mama T -- passed away suddenly but peacefully Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at her home.
She was born April 21, 1942 in Wake County to the late V. Earl and Bessie Alford Lewis, and was raised on the family farm in Knightdale.
She attended Knightdale Baptist Church, graduated in 1960 from Knightdale High School, and in 1963 from East Carolina College with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. In 1980, she married the love of her life, Daniel Troxler, and returned to North Carolina from Virginia. Until she retired in 2005, Lyn worked in the banking industry as a Mortgage Processor.
Lyn was an angel here on earth, doing anything she could for others, no matter her own circumstances. Her greatest joys were long visits with her beloved daughter and son-in-law, sitting quietly with her books or crossword puzzles, time with family, fun evenings with neighborhood friends, and any time she could spend with her great-grandsons.
A funeral service to celebrate her life will be held 3:00 pm, Sunday, October 11, 2015 at L. Harold Poole Funeral Service Chapel, 944 Old Knight Rd., Knightdale, 27545 with Reverend George Pullium officiating.
She leaves behind to cherish her beautiful memory daughter Maria and her husband Col (ret) Randy White, USAF of Niceville FL; grandchildren Maj Greg White, USAF (Katy) of Springfield VA and Mandy White of Fayetteville AR; great-grandsons Colin & Jacob White; brothers Robert Lewis of Goldston and Curtis Lewis (Sue) of Knightdale; sisters Frances Cooke of Raleigh, Janet Hardee (Henry) of Shallotte, and Faye Hurst (Julian) of Apex; sister-in-law, Mary Frances Lewis of Raleigh, a host of nieces, nephews and special friends.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters Doris Poole and Evelyn Godley; and brothers Bill Lewis Sr. and Stanley Lewis.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to University of Mount Olive – J.W. and Lucy V. Alford Family Endowed Ministerial Scholarship Fund, Gift Records, 634 Henderson Street, Mt. Olive, NC 28365 (https://www.umo.edu/support-umo).
