Stephanie Jo Ewell
A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, 2000, in Sharon Seventh-day Adventist Church for Stephanie Jo Ewell, who died Oct. 19, apparently of a heart attack, at age 51. Ms. Ewell was born May 28, 1949, in Lancaster, Pa., and was reared in Great Falls, Mont. She attended Walla Walla College and Georgetown University. In Washington, D.C., she was a volunteer usher for the Kennedy Center and a bookkeeper, bank teller and junior high school tutor and teacher. In 1970 she moved to Portland and was a precious-metals technician for Tektronix until the early 1980s. She was a volunteer teacher's aide for Portland Adventist Academy in the early 1990s.
Survivors include her daughter, Sara Smith; sons, William L. Smith and Brandon C. Smith; parents, Edwin and Jean Ewell; brothers, Derek M., Kent W. and Grant S. Ewell; and sisters, Traci K. White, Jamie B. Emelike and Candace B. Ewell.
Disposition is by cremation. The family suggests remembrances to the National Alliance of the Mentally Ill of Multnomah County. Arrangements are by Caldwell's Colonial Chapel.
