Carmen Jean Barnes Ewing, age 90, of Pleasant Prairie, WI. Born May 18, 1927, she passed from this life into the next in the early morning hours of Palm Sunday, March 25, 2018. And the angels sing!
She was the daughter of George and Lila Barnes, and sister to Dayton Barnes, who preceded Carmen into heaven.
A woman of quick wit and unending hospitality, Carmen spent her professional life assisting customers at Marshall Field’s, where she was a recipient of the Field’s Finest Award. She attended Illinois Wesleyan, where she met and married her loving husband, (Harry Gage) Coach Mick Ewing. Mick and Carmen would have celebrated 73 years of marriage on April 27, 2018. Carmen is survived by her husband, Mick Ewing; a son, David, and his wife, Karen; a daughter, Kathy, and her partner, Hope Sandler; and a daughter-in-law, Karen Stift, together with mom’s grandson, Robert Gage Ewing.
Carmen lost two children, Cynthia Sue Ewing and James Nathan Ewing, to vehicle accidents. We believe that family is forever and that her children were waiting at the Eastern gate.
Special thanks to the Rooney family, especially Carmen’s goddaughter, Trish, who held a very special place in Carmen’s heart, and to Kari Gale, who was, and will forever be, Carmen’s BFF.
According to Carmen’s wishes, there will be no service.
Memorial contributions may be made to mom’s favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN, 38105. Cards and condolences may be sent to Coach Mick Ewing at 7801 88th Ave., #212, Pleasant Prairie, WI, 53158.
