Emmalane R. Ewing's Obituary
Emmalane Ewing, age 90 of Rehoboth Beach, DE, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 13, 2021. She was born in Lewes, Delaware on May 15,1931, daughter of the late Samuel and Elsie Rowland Ewing.
After graduating from Arcadia University, Emmalane ran a grill at the boardwalk, living with her parents in her lifelong home built by her father. Her “family” included several generations of summer tenants that she hosted in three apartments adjacent to her home, members of the choir at Epworth United Methodist and the local chapter of the DAR.
Emmalane loved going to charity dances and, after retiring, she had a full calendar of volunteer duties. Above all, she enjoyed time spent with those she held most dear. Emmalane was a loving and devoted daughter, cousin and friend and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her three cousins and their families, and by her devoted caregivers, some becoming like family in the end.
A memorial service will take place on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at 2:00 PM at Epworth United Methodist Church, 19285 Holland Glade Rd, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Burial will be private.
