Early life and education

Anne Ewing was born Ann Drayton Heuser on November 19, 1930 in the upstairs bedroom of her family's home located in Wytheville, Virginia.^[1]^[2] Born "blue", the attending doctor asked her father for a bit of liquor from his hip flask to revive the baby.^[3] It worked. As a youngster, Ewing was taken care of by and had much affection for Josie Williams,^[4] who worked in the family's home; and by her grandfather, Henry Massillon Heuser, commonly known as "The Judge" since he was the judge for the community.^[5] She graduated from Wytheville High School on June 6, 1947; she was the senior class's Vice-President.^[6] She matriculated to Marion Junior College the following year, where she distinguished herself in basketball and in field hockey.^[2] Then she went on to the College of William and Mary to finish her bachelor's degree in biology in 1951.^[2] Her first desire was for a degree in chemistry, but the head of the department would not graduate a female student, so she switched to biology.^[3]

Ewing died on April 11, 2011 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder at the age of 80 in her home in San Diego, California ^[1] Per her request, in lieu of flowers at her memorial on May 1, 2011, donations in her memory were given to Planned Parenthood of San Diego.^[2]
