Stephanie E. (Cummings) Ewing

Stephanie Elizabeth Ewing (formerly Cummings) of Stoughton, formerly of Holbrook, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2025, at the age of 35, after a brief illness, surrounded by her immediate family.

Stephanie was raised and married in Holbrook, MA. She grew up on the farm properties of her beloved grandparents—Nana and Papa, and Gram and Grampy—holding a deep fondness for horses. In addition, Stephanie figure skated and danced with the Marie Austin School of Dance, where her niece and daughter are currently enrolled, much to her delight.

In her teenage years, she became deeply involved in Scouting’s Venturing Program. She was a Silver Award recipient, a Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow, served on the summer camp staff at Camp Norse and Camp Squanto and served as Area 1 Venturing President, leading the youth-run program across New England. Stephanie continued to volunteer at Camp Squanto and was very excited for her daughter to be involved in the scouting program from a young age, an opportunity which is now available due to the expansion of all programs to females. 

In her professional career, Stephanie worked in Early Childhood Education for years at Bright Horizons, making a lasting imprint on all the families who knew her. She then spent close to a decade at the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University, supporting the participants of Recovery Education Programs in their journeys. Her most recent position was as a Medical Informatics Administrator at Boston College. Steph always gravitated toward roles where she helped others focus on growth or recovery. 

Steph will be remembered for her smile that could light up a room, enjoying the sun from sunrise to sunset wherever she was, her love of traveling to the beach or ocean—Hawaii, Cape Cod and Harpswell Maine will always hold a special place in her heart—her chuckle, and her unconditional support for friends and family. To a fault, Steph cared more deeply about her loved ones than herself.  She gave everyone she knew a hug whenever she saw them—whether it had been two days or two years since they had last been together. 

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the memories she gave us—the laughter, the love, the lessons. Stephanie taught us how to live fully, love deeply, and cherish every moment.

Stephanie was predeceased by her grandparents Thomas and Teresa Cummings, and Myrtle McGrath. She is survived by her husband of six years, Andrew Ewing, and her pride and joy, her 20-month-old daughter Sydney Teresa Ewing, whom she affectionately called her “feral free-range chicken”—a joke between her parents, lovingly adapted over many iterations of Sydney’s life. She is also survived by her father and stepmother, James and Kelly Cummings; her mother, Lisa McGrath Cummings; her five siblings from her blended family: Andrew Cummings (and his fiancée Ashley), Sean Keene (and his wife Katt), Emily Cohen, Aaron Cohen, and Brady Cummings; her niece Peyton Cummings; and her grandfather Robert McGrath. Stephanie is also survived by a large network of caring and loving aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends both near and far.

Visiting hours will be held at the Hurley Currie Funeral Home, 127 S. Franklin Street, Holbrook, on Tuesday October 28, 2025, from 4-7pm.

A celebration of Stephanie’s life is being planned and will be held in the coming weeks. Details will be announced here: https://sites.google.com/view/stephewing
