Mr. Wayne Barnes Ewell, 79, of Wilmington, N.C., died Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020. Born in Bloxom, on Oct. 10, 1940, he was the son of the late Walter Ward Ewell and the late Amanda Barnes Ewell. He is survived by two beloved daughters and their families, Chelsea, Jason, and Cole Thornhill; and Clair Ewell and Zander Barnes McCabe, all of Wilmington. He is also survived by three sisters and their families, Angela Benton, Theresa Lewis, Lynwood Lewis and Lisa Lewis, and Andrea and Donnie Mason, all of Parksley.
A generous soul possessing a contagious laugh, Wayne was often described as “the best playmate” and understandably so. His was a life well-lived and our lives will never be the same without him.
A memorial service to celebrate Wayne’s life will be held at the Williams-Parksley Funeral Home Saturday, Oct. 10, 2020, at 1 p.m., with George Fulk officiating. Private interment will be in the Parksley Cemetery.
