Obituary of Sue Hawkins McEwen
Please share a memory of Sue to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Mrs. Sue Hawkins McEwen, 87, of Ragland, Alabama, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, August 26, 2023.
Mrs. McEwen and her husband, Billy, owned McEwen’s Grocery Store. She also worked alongside Sonny at Champion Drugs for forty-nine years. She was a member of Hardin’s Chapel Bible Church where she served as secretary for many years. She was a very caring person to so many. Across her lifetime, she mailed thousands of get-well cards, wedding congratulations, or birthday cards to individuals. She was a wonderful cook and baker and chances are, if you lived in Ragland, you were fortunate enough to taste one or more of her delicious cakes.

She is survived by her daughter, Cathy J. McEwen; grandson, Jon McEwen (Danielle); and eight great-grandchildren.
