Linle Drue Lewis was born on January 11, 1945, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as the first-born child to Lynn (Linley) Lewis and Frances Jones-Lewis. She passed away on January 23, 2025, in Weatherford, Oklahoma, at the age of 80 years and 12 days. She lived most of her life in Weatherford, Oklahoma, where she graduated high school in 1963.

She was a homemaker, teacher, artist, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, Christian, volunteer, and always busy in the act of serving and caring for others. She enjoyed traveling, friends, and her deep love of the Colorado mountains near Creede, which she shared and instilled within many generations.

She married Jimmy Dale Blagowsky, on April 6, 1962, and they lived in Weatherford while he completed undergraduate studies at SWOSU and moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, for a brief period while Jim completed his PhD at OSU. They returned to Weatherford where Linle attended SWOSU, graduating with a BS in Elementary Education in 1974 and a Master's Degree in Special Education in 1976.

She did all of this while raising two sons, Brett and Barry.

Her professional career was spent in education teaching Special Education at Arapaho Public Schools for seventeen years and she finished her teaching career at Weatherford Public Schools teaching gifted students and art before retiring in 2001. She was recognized as Weatherford District "Teacher of the Year" for the 1999-2000 academic year (few of us recall her ever mentioning this).

As a member of the First United Methodist Church, she belonged to the Frances Goode Circle, and served as a member of the Education Committee, the Nominations Committee, and the In-Zone after-school program. She was a member of the Weatherford Cemetery Board and the Weatherford Public School Foundation Board. She also participated as a volunteer for the American Heart Association and served over 12 years as secretary of the Custer-Dewey-Washita Counties unit of the Oklahoma Retired Educators Association (OREA).

She could make sand plum jelly, bait a hook, clean a trout, lead an Aerobics class, make a campfire, fix a hot tub, landscape the backyard, paint a picture, pull a weed, cook chicken and dumplings, and do all this in the same day. She wasted little time watching TV or on anything that did not benefit her family, friends, students, or community. She also heard the phrase, "you look like Jamie Lee Curtis", more than a few times.

After her first husband's death in 1997, she married Dr. Les Levy in 2000. They enjoyed retirement and traveling, many local friends, and loving their grandkids. This marriage brought her a new daughter from Les's first marriage, Dr. Aimee Levy. Linle's family grew to include six grandchildren and three great-children. She also gained a "bonus" daughter (Elizabeth Weichel) and her three children to whom she was also "Grandma Linle".

She was preceded in death by her first husband Dr. Jim Blagowsky, one grandson Kamden Levy Corn, and parents Lynn and Frances Lewis. Linle is survived by her husband, Dr. Les Levy of their home in Weatherford, sister Mary Serio and husband Jack of Valrico, FL and her niece Linsey Jorn and family, son Brett Blagowsky and wife Dr. Shawn of Plano, TX, and their children Brianna and Joshua, son Barry Blagowsky and wife Monique of Weatherford and their daughters Toni Ray and husband Ty, and Jimi Blagowsky and wife Mariel, and stepdaughter Dr. Aimee Levy of Edmond and her son Karsten. She enjoyed three great-children Tyton, Tyger, and Tyrone from Toni and Ty Ray. She also enjoyed Elizabeth Weichel and her husband Keith, and children Bentley, Hollis, and Witten.

The family would like to thank Shepherd Home Health Care, Dr. Blake Badgett, and the wonderful and caring staff at Homestead Assisted Living & Memory Care of Weatherford.
