My Dear Granny Franny



On Feb. 2, 2010 my dear sweet grandma, Frances Marie Ewell, one of my dearest friends, and like a second mother to me, passed away at the age of 89. I will miss her greatly. Life just won't be the same without her. She was there at the bus stop when I started my first day of Kindergarten and she was there the day I graduated from high school. She came to every birthday, holiday, and other events in between. I remember when we would spend a week with her every summer. We would walk every where, stay up and have midnight snacks and enjoy her pineapple cookies. She always played with us. One time she even strapped on roller skates and skated around with us until she finally crashed into the fence. I have more memories then I can count with this special woman. No one had a grandma like I did. I wanted to share with you the montage Scott put together for my grandma's viewing and funeral. Enjoy. p.s her sweet husband, my grandpa, passed away just over 30 years ago. What a sweet reunion that must have been!

  1. First, wait - you rode the bus to kindergarten? didn't you go to Terra Linda? Too funny. I love this post. I loved your grandma too, she had a special place in my heart. She was there quite often for me too and always had a smile on her face. I love all of the pics, Scott did a wonderful job with that.
    So happy that she can be with her husband again, and I imagine her reunion with Scott was a special one too. Thank you for sharing this post. - Jamie

  2. She was a wonderful lady! I am glad she gets this chance to reconnect with her husband and of course Scott is probably loving his chance to be with Grandma again.

  3. Shawna,
    I found your blog from who knows where but I just wanted to share my condolences about your grandma. I remember seeing and hearing about her since I was a kid in the ward/neighborhood and I know how special grandma's are. I lost both of mine recently and feel for you! Hang in there!
