Eileen Hewson Obituary

Eileen Kay HEWSON September 16, 1947 ~ April 6, 2011 Eileen Kay Hewson took her last breath at around 230pm on April 6th, 2011. She was an amazing mom, an incredible wife, a wonderful sister and a phenomenal teacher, but most of all she was the perfect "Nana." All who know her have been given a gift through her life and we got more in her 63 years than many get in much longer. Celebration of life will be this Saturday 2:00 p.m. April 9th, 2011 at Fairwood Community United Methodist Church and at Fernhill UMC on Tuesday April 12th, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Her ashes will be scattered at Kapalua Beach in June at her favorite spot where she and Jim stay every year. She is survived by her husband James Hewson, her sons Haydn and Darryn Hewson and their wives Jodi and Lisa, her granddaughters Ainsley and Kate, her brother Randy and his wife Sharon, her two sisters Janice and Kristie, and her six nieces and one nephew.

Dear Coach Jim and family,

Our sincere condolences upon the passing of your wife, Eileen. Our granddaughter, Terra M, has been one of your track students/runners for two years now, and we came to know Eileen fairly well through the team's competitions. Our hearts go out to your and your family. Please, know that Eileen will be remembered kindly in lots of hearts sparked by the memories she helped to make life so dear. We are glad to know, too, though, that you have family to help you through these difficult days. Sincerely, Morris and Sharon Howland
