Anna Louise, the daughter of Janney Maude (Berry) and Lawrence Edward Harrington, was born on September 30, 1920, on a farm 15 ½ miles northwest of Alva.
She attended the Franklin Rural Grade School in District # 104 and graduated from the Hardtner High School with the class of 1938.
Miss Harrington was married to James George Ewing on September 25, 1940, at the Alva Sacred Heart Catholic Church. To their marriage three sons – Gary Kent and twins, Steven and Michael – were born. Mr. Ewing passed away on March 8, 1970.
Following their marriage they made their home on the Ewing farm and later purchased it, where they farmed, ranched, custom harvested baled hay (and Louise was a cheap hand). In 1956 she attended the Venues Beauty College in Wichita, Kansas and in 1957 she opened her own shop on the farm and operated it for 18 years.
Mrs. Ewing was a member of the Sacred Heart Church, an active member of the Altar Society, the Monica Circle since 1950, the Hardtner Senior Citizens and a life member of the Beta Sigma Phi Society.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and son Gary.
She is survived by two sons, twins Mike and Steve both of Wichita, Kansas, daughter-in-laws, Annie and Jean Myers, a grandson and his wife, James Glenn and Janette of Sperry, Oklahoma, two step-grandchildren and their spouses, Dawn and John Childress of Vian, Oklahoma and Denea and Jason Evans of Yale, Oklahoma, eight great-grandchildren, Gwyneviar Ewing, Singent, Kanyn, and Tylnn Childress, Keston, Elizabeth, NaKayla and Calvin Evans, other relatives and friends.
