It is with deep sadness that we share that Jill (Zehnder) Lewis passed away Sunday, June 7, due to pancreatic cancer. Jill was President of our Board of Trustees for many years and the driving force behind Old Salem Shrine’s Founder’s Day and Epiphany Services, as well as opening the church to occasional weddings and baptisms. In addition to serving as President, she was also the church’s dedicated organist.
The family requested memorials be made to Old Salem Shrine Church via our website or via mail to:

“Old Salem is a signal to the modern generation of a ‘grounding’ to the past—so much that our ancestors gave up to have a place of worship and a church family.”
Jill (Zehnder) Lewis, June 2020
