Jimmy Harold Ewy Feb 12, 1945 - Sep 28, 2021
Posted by: Glenn
Jimmy Harold Ewy, age 76, of Perry, Oklahoma
passed away September 28, 2021 at Integris
Canadian Valley Hospital, in Yukon, Oklahoma. A
devoted husband, beloved father, adored
grandfather, cherished uncle, and faithful
friend will be remembered with fondness by all
of those he encountered.
Jim was born on February 12, 1945 in Perry,
Oklahoma to Paul and Dorothy (Chenoweth) Ewy. He
grew up in Perry and attended Perry Public
Schools. Jim furthered his education at Northern
Oklahoma College and technical school.
Jim married Marilyn Shireman on July 27, 1968 at
the First Christian Church in Perry and enjoyed
53 years of marriage. To this union the couple
was blessed with their greatest joy, twin sons,
Jimmy and Timothy Ewy. They often spent their
anniversary vacationing with family and
celebrated their 48th anniversary in Europe.
Jim proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy
and worked as a welder and field engineer at
Charles Machine Works for 40 years before
ultimately retiring in 2020.
He was a tinkerer around the house and had
several hobbies, including his love of
woodworking and BBQ. Helping others was a gift
that naturally came to him. Those who knew Jim,
knew the word “no”, was not in his vocabulary.
Jim, however, saved his greatest love for his
church and his family. He was an active member
of the First Christian Church in Perry and was
known for his sense of humor. Valuing his time
with family included yearly vacations in Western
New York and Dallas, TX. Jim and Marilyn loved
hosting yearly Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
celebrations at their home. On Christmas Eve the
family tradition included all the family
attending Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at
First Christian Church in celebration of their
faith in Christ.
Survivors include: his wife, Marilyn Ewy; sons,
Jimmy Paul Ewy and Timothy James Ewy and his
wife, Jessica Ewy; grandson, Matthew Ewy;
sister, Janet Mack; and numerous nieces and
nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Paul and
Dorothy Ewy and sister, Peggy Divine.
Funeral services will be held at 1 PM on Monday,
October 4, 2021 at First Christian Church in
Perry with Rev. Joshua Bell officiating. Jim
will be laid to rest at Grace Hill Cemetery
following the service.
Pallbearers will be Michael Hartwig, Terry
