Norman Earl Ewing Sr

Norman Earl Ewing, Sr., (78) passed away among loving family while visiting on 07/04/2020. Norm grew up in Kenton, Ohio, and after graduating from Kenton High School, he and his family moved to Indiana where he was employed at Dome Laboratories (Elkhart, IN). He later accepted a promotion and transfer to Miles Pharmaceutical in West Haven, CT. After a brief time in Clinton, CT, he and his family moved to Killingworth, CT. There, Norman was active in local politics, little league baseball, the Killingworth Lions Club, the neighborhood watch program and helped defeat a proposed peat harvesting company from disturbing the quaint woods of Killingworth in the early 1980's. He “clowned” around at the Tiny Tots Carnival for several years. Norm left his job at Miles after it was acquired by Bayer and began a career with a small company called “Bright Ideas” in Guildford selling and servicing Apple Computers. He then moved on to begin his favorite career as a professional recruiter at MRG Search and Placement in New Haven where he achieved great success in “Headhunting” in the biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. He returned to his home state of Ohio in the late 1980's and lived in Westerville, Marysville, and Kenton, Ohio. From there he moved to Florida, Georgia, Arizona and, lastly, to Nebraska with his wife, Francie. After rebuilding their home in Bancroft, he and his wife retired to Lincoln, Nebraska. Norman was preceded in death by his parents, Earl L. Ewing and Mildred (Lay) Ewing. He is survived by his loving wife, Francie; his sister, Sharon Ewing/Rash of Mesa, AZ; his sons, Norman (Raquel) Ewing, Jr. of Ludowici, GA and Matthew (Marisol) Ewing; Grandchildren, Jillian P. Ewing, Joseph L. Ewing and Matthew G. Ewing II, of Killingworth, CT. He is also survived by his nephew R, Christopher Rash (Misty) and family; his step children Mark Gates, Anderson, IN, Tony Gates (Suzanne), Omaha, NE, Angela Colling (Mark), Westfield, IN and Mary Hagarty (Tad), Lincoln, NE. Norm's kind heart and childlike clownish nature were the essence that drew his audience and admirers of children, animals and those around him. From all your family, friends and acquaintances you will be forever remembered and will be missed beyond words. A Celebration of Life Memorial will take place in Lincoln, NE on August 28, 2020 for immediate family.
