Philip M. Ewing, a Pacific Palisades resident for 58 years, died peacefully in his home on March 5. He was 87. Born September 23, 1922, Ewing grew up in the Boston area. He received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Ohio State University. While at college, he met his future wife, Marian. They wed in December 1943 at the Harvard Chapel in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and were married until her passing in 2008. After a three-year stint as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve, Ewing studied at the Harvard Business School, receiving an MBA in 1948. He and his wife then moved to California. By 1952, they had become residents of Pacific Palisades, where they raised their two daughters. Philip was a loving husband and father and was devoted to providing for his family as a business and finance executive, actively working until 2008. He is survived by two daughters, Patty Ewing of Palms and Sharon Ewing Kendall (husband Jim) of Lafayette, California; and two grandchildren, Jimmy and Jamie Kendall. Each of his daughters graduated from Palisades High School. Philip will be remembered for his work ethic, his analytical mind, his integrity and his generosity to many charities and institutions. The family wishes to thank Renato Lopez, his dedicated caregiver for the last 18 months.
