Frances “Fran” Jo Ewing
Frances “Fran” Jo Ewing, 78, of Beaumont, Texas, died peacefully at her home on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, after a quiet battle with rapid-onset Alzheimer’s. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and teacher, touching every life she encountered.
Frances is survived by her husband of fifty-five years, Richard Ewing, and her two daughters, April Hammon and Alexis Kirk. She was a loving grandmother to her five adoring grandchildren — Archer, Roscoe, Emmett, Rhett, and Arden — who will forever cherish her memory.
A lifelong and devout member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Frances found deep purpose in her faith and parish community. She enjoyed fellowship through the 49ers Club and Perpetual Adoration.
Frances was a decorated science teacher at Beaumont Independent School District for over thirty years and a proud member and former president of Delta Kappa Gamma.
Her dedication to serving others extended throughout the Beaumont community. Frances was a dedicated volunteer, offering her time, compassion, and joyful spirit to causes she held dear. She was an avid reader, a film lover, enjoyed playing Mahjong, and found deep comfort in prayer and her Catholic faith.
A celebration of life will be held early next year, with details to be announced at a later date. Her cremation arrangements were handled by Broussard’s Crematorium, Beaumont, under the direction of Broussard’s, 2000 McFaddin Avenue, Beaumont.
Fran was my friend for almost 50 years. We celebrated the triumphs of our children and grandchildren. She texted me every morning to see if I was ok. I will miss her!
Rick and family, my condolences and prayers & to Ann and the rest of the family love and blessings.

Rick, April & Alexis,
Fran was the Dearest of Friends. When I was still in Beaumont we met often for Saturday Breakfasts. After I moved to Houston we spoke on the phone often. I will miss her so much!

I am now living in Virginia near my son. I just heard of Fran’s passing. She was such a lovely lady and such a dedicated teacher. I so enjoyed visiting with her at French High. She was so very appreciated by the entire faculty and the masses of students she taught.
Rick and family,
Thoughts and prayers going out to your whole family. Thinking back on the years our girls were in school together. Fran was always a nice person. She has received her reward.
May she rest in everlasting peace.
Fran wa a lovely woman and dedicated teacher. We met through Delta Kappa Gamma and maintained friendship for many years. I will miss her more now because we were in the same Chapter for the last several years. I am grateful to have known her. Deepest sympathies.
So very sorry for your loss. May GOD Bless her soul and may she rest in peace. Chris and Lisa Baione
