Remembering Olga McEwing, 1920-2016

Friends and relatives are remembering Olga (Mitchell) McEwing, and wanted to share this with the community:

A long-time West Seattle resident, Olga McEwing died peacefully following a short illness on March 10, 2016, at age 96.

Olga was born on February 7, 1920. She emigrated to the United States from England with her parents Joshua and Ellen, and a younger brother, John, in 1927. She was a very generous person and cared a lot for others. She enjoyed music, gardening, and liked making the best pumpkin pies.

She was preceded in death by her husband James McEwing, 1919-1978.

Olga will be missed by The Kenney residents, the Schau and Matalone families, as well as many others, and will remain in our hearts forever.

    Olga was one of the kindest women I’ve ever known. Growing up as her neighbor contributed to my sense of security and well-being, as everytime I saw her she had a warm greeting, and a sunny smile. She always engaged me, even as a young child, and made all of us feel important. She’ll be missed!

    Olga’s West Coast family members would also like to
    acknowledge Olga’s warmth, graciousness and generous heart. Although we didn’t
    see her often, she was always so welcoming and took an interest in our families’
    lives. We greatly enjoyed hearing about her interesting activities, as well. It
    was always a pleasure to be in contact with her, and a great honor to know her.  — Mike, Katie and Kelsey; Anita; Amanda, Matt, Colin and
