Mabelle "Mibs" R. Ewald

The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Mabelle Ewald. We are thankful for her military service and proud to have served her on her trip to Washington, D.C. on our inaugural flight on April 17, 2010.

Rex and Sharon and Family, our deepest sympathy to you in your time of sorrow. Jim and Tana Myers.

I worked for the Women Marines Association and had the honor of meeting Ms. Ewald at the Convention in Denver in 2010. If I remember correctly she had driven there on her own all the way from WI and lost her wallet along the way, yet was there having a good time and dealing with the hassle all at the same time. She was the treasurer for her chapter so I received many pieces of mail from her and she was always so professional, detailed, and thorough through her late 80's and early 90's. I so admired her! My condolences to her family and friends - she was a special, special lady who made an impact in my life.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Mib's. She was the nicest and greatest lady I have known. 25 years ago I started driving for District One EMS. At that time I would run the Wednesday shift with her. I being just over 30 yrs old at that time found talking with her just fascinating. All the places she would visit and the things she would do was just great to see her enjoying life so much. And the dedication she gave to District One EMS is still felt today. We were ALL better for having her in our EMS Family. It is with great regrets that I will not be able to help put her to rest on Thursday. I will be out of town for business all week. Again, my deepest sympathies for the loss of our dear friend. Dennis O'Connell
