Katherine Louise Ewin

Katherine Louise Ewin (née Meeker) was born in Olathe, Colorado on November 23, 1920. Since her mother's name was also Katherine, she was commonly known as Louise. Louise had two sisters, Helen and Barbara. Helen died very young, but Barbara still lives in Walnut Creek, California. During the last few years Louise and Barbara maintained an almost daily letter correspondence. As a young woman, Louise took secretarial training and worked for a time for the Bureaus of Land Management and of Reclamation. During these years she met her future husband, Robert ""Bob"" Ewin, who worked for the U.S. Forest Service. After marriage Louise worked as a homemaker and mother, raising 3 daughters: Delana D. Arnold, Bonnie K. O'Connell and Janice L. Ewin. Bob and Louise spent a long and happy retirement together, continuing to live in the Lakewood home they bought in 1962 and spending time in their beloved Colorado mountains. Bob died in 2009. Louise lived in her home until her death on May 29, 2017. She was 96 years old. Louise is survived by her three daughters, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
