Currently, she is in charge of all sales, fiscal responsibilities and business management for the entire cemetery and crematory operation.

Lew started working full time with Mt. Olivet in 1995 after he graduated from high school. His father always started his kids at the "bottom" and let them work their way up, so Lew started as a groundsworker.
