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.

Family and friends are invited to visit on Friday, September 5, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the chapel at Carlisle – Branson Funeral Service & Crematory. Funeral services will be held at the funeral home on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., with an hour of visitation preceding. In honoring Deb’s wishes, her earthly remains will be cremated after the service.

  3. I will never forget the time you taught me how to make fudge. I have never had any desire to cook but when i was with you i always wanted to make fudge just because you taught me and i knew i made you proud. i will forever wear the little gold hoops you took out of your ears christmas 2024 and gave me, and i’ll never ever take your ring off. you gave me a hard time growing up and never understood why, i do now and you’ve made me a great young woman and i will thank you forever.

  9. Deb, I can’t find the words I want. I wish we had been in closer contact with visits the last few years like the older days, but you always were and always will be in my heart.
    You had a bad childhood, losing your mom when you and Danny were just babies but you ended up so much like her. You dearly loved your kids and grandkids, you were a good cook like her too.
    Now you are up there with her and your dad, sister’s and brothers and my John.
    You were one of the kindest, funniest and loving people I have ever known and I’m glad you are no longer in pain. You are truly in a better place.
    RIP sweetie 😇❤️

  12. To my dear Aunt Deb, who I never got the pleasure of meeting, and who I discovered only a few years ago. Thanks for making my momma a very happy sister to you if only for a little while. Your amazing self shines through in all those you’ve influenced over the years and it’s obvious that you were extremely loved by all. Rest in peace.
