Arline Lorna Ewing (Feuerhelm)
September 18, 1922 — December 2, 2007
Arline Lorna Ewing, 85, of Cedar Rapids, died peacefully on December 2, 2007, while in the care of The Dennis & Donna Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy, following a brief illness. Her family will always be grateful for the comforting care given by the staff of The Hospice House as she made the transition from life on earth to eternal life.
Services: 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 5, 2007, at Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Cedar Rapids by Rev. Paul Wilcox. Friends may call from 11:00 ?" 1:00 p.m. Burial: Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.
Arline was one of the strong branches on our family tree and all of her descendents have been positively influenced by her energy, charm, wit and character. It comes as no surprise that throughout the years she had been a part of three separate “five generation” families either as a grandma, a great-grandma or great-great-grandma.
Arline was born September 18, 1922, in Waukon to Emma (Straate) and Sam Feuerhelm. She married her loving husband, Jim on September 19, 1939, and they had sixty-four wonderful years of marriage before his passing in 2004. Together they raised two daughters, Nancy (Al) Aossey and Lynn Tichy, all of Cedar Rapids. Arline’s influence is evident in her grandchildren, Sherry (Kamal) Shaheen, Terry (Mudium) Aossey, Amy Aossey, Darren (Angie) Tichy, and Courtney (Kurt) Packingham as well as great-grandchildren, Gibran, Shadiyah, and Nahdia Shaheen, Jameil (Ashly) and Raja Aossey, Danyah Aossey, Logan, Tailyn and Emma Tichy, and step-great-grandchildren, Kohl, Dane, and Garet Packingham, Christina Hess and Olivia Gieseman and now her first great-great-grandson, Dean Jameil Aossey.
She is also survived by sisters, Dolores (Noel) Tollefson and Dorothy (John) Fields; and sisters-in-law, Marge Feuerhelm, Laverna Feuerhelm, Millie Wells, Kate Ewing, and Lillian (J.C.) Batla.
Preceding her in death were her loving husband, Jim Ewing; her parents, Emma and Sam Feuerhelm; her beloved grandson, Terry Aossey; sisters, Grace (Stan) Procok and Lorraine (Charlie) Aud; brothers, Ken, Carl, and James Feuerhelm; and brother-in-law, Melvin Ewing.
Though a devoted employee for many years at Collins Radio Company, her passion in life was always raising her family.
Arline was a member of Olivet Presbyterian Church in Cedar Rapids for over forty years and recently joined the Lovely Lane United Methodist Church in Cedar Rapids.
“In each and every family we know some rain must fall, but what a lovely rainbow will rise above it all”…we’ll miss you, mom.
Memorials may be directed to the charity of the donor’s choice in Arline’s memory.
