Ms. Ewing first joined BC in 2022 as a health care assistant. Prior to that, she spent nearly 10 years at the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University, supporting the participants of recovery education programs. She also was an assistant teacher in early childhood education at Bright Horizons in Braintree, Mass.
A native of Holbrook, Mass., and most recently a resident of Stoughton, Ms. Ewing was active in the Scouting America Venturing program as a teenager and was president of its Area 1 in New England. Among other scouting-related achievements, she received a Silver Award, was a Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow and on the summer camp staff.
Ms. Ewing is survived by her husband, Andrew; daughter, Sydney; father and stepmother, James and Kelly Cummings; mother, Lisa McGrath Cummings; siblings from her blended family, Andrew Cummings, Sean Keene, Emily Cohen, Aaron Cohen, and Brady Cummings; niece, Peyton Cummings; and grandfather, Robert McGrath.
In a letter to the Woods College community, WCAS Dean David Goodman said that Ms. Ewing—who was in her final semester—was “a beloved member of our community. We grieve this loss along with her family and friends and feel the pain of her departure. Moments such as this are sobering reminders of life’s fragileness. Please join us in sending your thoughts and prayers to her loved ones.”
A celebration of Ms. Cummings’ life is being planned; a website will provide details as they become available.
