The estate of Donald C. and Jean M. Lewis, lifelong residents of Camas and Washougal, has given $100,000 to the Humane Society for Southwest Washington. The grant was made from the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington.
Upon her death in April 2009 at age 87, Jean Lewis bequeathed her estate to the Community Foundation for the benefit of the Humane Society and disadvantaged people.
Donald Lewis died in 2001. They both worked at the Camas paper mill from high school through retirement.
The Humane Society’s debt for its new headquarters and shelter at 1100 N.E. 192nd Avenue has now been retired.
