Linda Anne Lewis Ewing passed away on June 27th, 2008 at the age of 60.Linda was born in Dallas but came to San Antonio at a young age, graduating from Lee in 1966. She attended Trinity University while supporting herself by working as a clothes buyer at Joske's.

She then worked in Houston, first for Conoco, then for Mobil Oil where she was trained as a geophysicist and explored the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas. After working at Mesa Petroleum for a short while, she returned to San Antonio in 1980 and a year later 'set out her shingle' as a consulting geophysicist. She married Dr. Thomas E.

She retired just last year, nine years into her struggle with breast cancer. Linda loved music and faithfully attended the San Antonio Opera. She participated in the music of the San Antonio Liederkranz as director's spouse and associate member. In later years, Linda was an avid quilter and a lover of fine fabrics.
