Douglas William MacEwan Obituary
We are sad to announce that on April 1, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Douglas William MacEwan of Winnipeg, Manitoba. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his wife Elizabeth; and his brother Ross. He is survived by: his children, Joanne (Dennis), Elspeth (Grant), Eleanor Wiebe (John) and James (Gwen); and his grandchildren, Laura, Grace, Michael, Rachel, Alison, Jack, Stephen and Sarah. He is also survived by six great-grandchildren.
In the summer of 2020, when that community's viability was threatened by the pandemic, he set out to raise $96, 000 by walking one kilometer a day for the 96 days leading up to his 96th birthday.
If desired, donations may be made to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet for the MacEwan Scholarship (380 Graham Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3C 4K2) or to the University of Manitoba for The Douglas and Elizabeth MacEwan Endowment Award or the Dr. Douglas MacEwan (Radiology Lectureship) Fund (Donor Relations, 100-137 Innovation Dr., Winnipeg, MB R3T 6B6).
