Carolyn Elva Simpson Ewing

Carolyn was born on July 2, 1928 in Atlanta, Georgia to Richard T. and Elva Simpson. She graduated from Washington Seminary in Atlanta Georgia, where she was the captain of the basketball team, Wesleyan College, and the University of Georgia where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority.

Carolyn married George Ewing in 1955, and they lived in Atlanta until 1993, when they moved to St. Simons Island, Georgia and Sapphire, North Carolina. In Atlanta, Mrs. Ewing was a member of the Rose Garden Club of Atlanta, The Junior League of Atlanta, The Cathedral of St. Phillip, and supported Egleston Hospital.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Ewing was predeceased by her loving husband of 54 years, George, as well as her brother, Richard T. Simpson.
