Obituary Callie Gertrude "Trudy" Lewis age 74, of Morehead City, passed away on October 28, 2017 at the Crystal Coast Hospice House. A private family memorial service is planned for a later date. Callie was born in Beaufort, NC to James Lawing and Gloria Joyce Rumfelt on May 9, 1943. She went to Swansboro High School and graduated in 1961. She went on to earn a degree in Education from Campbell College and started her career as a middle school teacher in Language Arts. She loved being a teacher, and after retirement, continued to volunteer and spend time with students through tutoring and helping teachers with their classes. She was an avid reader of all genres, and would have a book beside her at all times. She was well traveled, including multiple trips to China and exploring Europe while living in England. She loved food, and her travels gave her the opportunity to explore and appreciate different cuisines. Being from this area, she loved the coast and sitting at Fort Macon and listening to the ocean.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the Crystal Coast Hospice House for their support in her final days.
