In Loving Memory

Deidre "Dede" Ewing A loving mother
May 16, 1973 — April 28, 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Deirdre Ewing, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who departed this world on April 28, 2026, at the age of 52. Born on May 16, 1973, in West Helen, Arkansas, Deirdre was a beacon of light and love to all who knew her.
Deirdre was the cherished daughter of Sallie Williams and James Ewing, from whom she inherited a legacy of compassion and resilience. She spent her life embodying these values, spreading warmth and kindness wherever she went. Deirdre’s vibrant personality and infectious laughter left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone she encountered.
For many years, Deirdre was a dedicated employee at Party Concepts, where her colleagues adored her for her radiant smile, heartfelt hugs, and joyous laughter. Her presence brought a unique blend of fun and professionalism to the workplace, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside her.
Deirdre’s greatest joy in life was her family. She was the proud mother of Rodarious Ewing, Demetrius Ewing, and Shannon Ewing, and her nurturing spirit and unwavering support made her their biggest champion. Her influence extended to her four grandchildren, Pagie Ewing, Shaniya Ewing, Amani Ewing, and Ariya Ewing, who affectionately knew her as the "funny grandmother." Deirdre was a guiding light in their lives, offering endless love and laughter and always giving them the world.
Known for her incredible strength and selflessness, Deirdre was an inspirational figure to all who knew her. Her nurturing love and patient heart were the cornerstones of her relationships, and her influence reached beyond her immediate family to touch the lives of her brothers and sisters, Marcus Williams, Bernard Farr, Craylon Williams, and James Farr.
Deirdre was more than a family matriarch; she was an influential force in the lives of all who knew her. Her legacy is one of unconditional love, boundless generosity, and enduring strength. She taught us all the importance of family, laughter, and compassion, and her memory will forever remain a beacon of hope and love in our hearts.
As we gather to celebrate Deirdre's life, we remember the warmth she shared and the joy she brought to every room she entered. Her soul was a tapestry of love, woven with threads of kindness and strength that will continue to inspire and guide us.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Deirdre's memory to a charity that supports families in need, reflecting her lifelong commitment to helping others. Deirdre Ewing’s spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and her legacy of love will continue to shine brightly in the lives she touched.
