Debra Kay Ewing

Debra Kay "Deb" Ewing, 65, of Indianapolis, passed away at home on August 31, 2025. She was born in Indianapolis on February 13, 1960, to the late Oran and Eleanor (Cordell) White. Deb attended Plainfield schools and married the love of her life, Stephen Ewing, on March 31, 1979.

She loved being able to stay at home to raise her three children and eventually went to work as a cook for Bradford Woods for several years.

Deb's greatest pride and joy was her grandchildren. It didn't matter the occasion; the time spent with them was her favorite. Likewise, they always looked forward to seeing Nana and eating the chocolate from her several stashes around the house.

Deb found peace outdoors. She loved planting flowers and watching the dragonflies and butterflies on the back porch. Her compassion for others will live on through her family.

In addition to her parents, Deb is preceded in death by her brothers, Bobby and David White; and sisters, Latisha Reffett, Cheryl Barker, Karen White, and Linda Hammond.

Survivors include her husband of 46 years, Stephen Ewing; daughter, Melissa Gibson; sons, Stephen D. Ewing and Michael Ewing (Crystal); grandchildren, Alivia Gibson, Brayden Ewing, Morgan Ewing, Caroline Gibson, Calina Ewing, Colten Ewing, Mason Ewing, Michaela Ewing, Chloe Ewing, Anthony Ewing, Mia Ewing, and Divina Ewing; great-grandchildren, Lyrik, Elliot, Kingsley, and Oakley; twin brother, Daniel White; brother, Tommy White (Becky); and sister, Joyce Barbaur.
