Filbert F. Lewis of Chatsworth, GA passed away March 20, 2026, at Parkside at Budd Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta GA.

Born in Milford, DE December 19, 1947, he grew up in his hometown of Bridgeville, DE.  After graduating from Bridgeville High School, he left his hometown to attend Lee College in Cleveland, TN.

After graduating from Lee College, Filbert spent 32 years teaching in the Murray County School System earning a Masters of Education from West Georgia College along the way. Most of his career was spent as a physical education teacher at Spring Place Elementary. Filbert loved teaching and nothing pleased him more than meeting former students and hearing how "Coach Lewis" and his P.E. class made school so enjoyable.

He loved to travel and talk to people.  Filbert Lewis never met a stranger.

Filbert was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Julia, of 38 years, parents Mildred and Francis Lewis of Bridgeville, DE, and a sister Ludella David and her husband Don of Venice, FL.

He is survived by his sister, Beverly Dalton and her husband Lenny of Shelton, CT and his brother Byron Lewis of Bridgeville, DE.  He is also survived by nieces and a nephew.

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to his longtime friend, Gary Garland, for all his support for our brother and the Lewis family.  And special thanks goes to caregiver and friend Kistena Easley.

A memorial service is planned for a later date.

Peeples Funeral Home & Crematory of Chatsworth has been entrusted with the arrangements for Filbert F. Lewis.
