Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the Family. Mrs. Ewing Rest in Peace. You saved me. You said if know know how to type, you will never go hungry. That IBM typewriter became part of me. I went on to work for IBM Watson for 4 years. Cheers Mrs. Ewing for teaching me to keep going!

Mrs. Ewing was the best teacher to me at OHS. She was strict and demanded respect but we loved her. One day in Short Hand she walked over to me and told me you can do much better than that. "I expect so much more from you Miss Jones!" "Did you know I taught your Father as well?" I was shock. I will miss you Mrs. Ewing may you rest in peace!

You had high standards and clearly communicated them to your students. We were all better for it. You will forever be remembered. A class act.

Mrs. Ewing was by far the best teacher in OHS. I was the only boy in her class with 28 other girls and she never treated me any different. She demanded respect because she respected you. I will never forget her or her method of teaching. She made OHS a better school.

Pure and simple, Priscilla Ewing was there for us because she cared for us. We were richly blessed.

Still missing our interesting conversations. What a class act!

Six years have passed...you are forever remembered and always missed

Years ago, at the Traveler's Rest class reunion, I gave Mrs. Ewing a big hug because a college English Professor said he would give you a plus 10 points for type written book reports -- and God knows I needed every one of them. Her legacy will live forever. She also told me Coach Jim Dilly taught her how to apply a knuckle sandwich to the head of any unruly boy, but never had to use it. We know why!

This is Mrs. Ewing's five year anniversary of her passing. All those of us that were blessed to have had her as a teacher know that her influence has carried us through our professional careers. Left such a marked impression. She will forever be remembered and always be missed.
