Charlene Nicole Lewis life story
Charlene Nicole Lewis Life story video
Charlene Nicole Lewis, 36, of Cape Canaveral passed away on Sunday, (7/28) at Cape Canaveral Hospital. A native of Washington DC, she ran her own nail salon here in the Cape Canaveral area. She graduated Bowie High School and from there went on to earn her Associate degree from Prince Georges Community College and then her Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Ashworth University in Georgia. She was honored as Miss Dairy Queen USA and then went on to win her crown as Miss Wheelchair Maryland in 1997 and again in 1998.

Charlene won 6 Special Olympic Medals, 1 gold, 3 bronze, and 2 silver; in wheelchair racing and softball. She was also featured in Jet Magazine the month that Whitney Houston was on the cover and the Governor of Maryland was also featured. When she came to the Brevard County area, she graduated from Brevard Cosmetology School and opened her own nail salon which she ran in the Cape Canaveral area. The Native American Indians were always a special cause for Charlene; which led her to establish the Not-For-Profit organization: NAIRA.

Survivors include her father and mother: Perry and Jeand'Arc Lewis of Merritt Island; twin-sister: Dorothy of Cape Canaveral; maternal-grandmother: Antoinette Ebondo; maternal-grandfather: Trudon Mukoko; aunt: Therese Mukoko of Hyattsville, Maryland; very special cousins: Fabrice, Rachel and Marie also of Hyattsville, Maryland; and uncle: James "Uncle Jimmy" Della Valle of Longwood.

Visitation will be Monday, (8/5) from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Divine Mercy Catholic Church, 1940 N Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial on Monday, 11:00 AM.
