 * Early life and education

Anne Ewing was born Ann Drayton Heuser on November 19, 1930 in the upstairs bedroom of her family's home located in Wytheville, Virginia. Born "blue", the attending doctor asked her father for a bit of liquor from his hip flask to revive the baby. It worked. As a youngster, Ewing was taken care of by and had much affection for Josie Williams, who worked in the family's home; and by her grandfather, Henry Massillon Heuser, commonly known as "The Judge" since he was the judge for the community. She graduated from Wytheville High School on June 6, 1947; she was the senior class's Vice-President. She matriculated to Marion Junior College the following year, where she distinguished herself in basketball and in field hockey. Then she went on to the College of William and Mary to finish her bachelor's degree in biology in 1951. Her first desire was for a degree in chemistry, but the head of the department would not graduate a female student, so she switched to biology.

Next, Ewing earned a master's degree in Botany from the University of Tennessee in 1952. She then continued her graduate studies at Michigan State University, East Lansing, working toward a Ph.D. in Botany. Afterwards, she taught at University of North Carolina, Greensboro; University of North Carolina, Raleigh; and at Pennsylvania State University, State College.

In 1957, Ewing married Robert Radlow and the couple had two children, a son and a daughter. The family moved to San Diego, California, in 1968; the couple divorced in 1980. At that time, she legally changed her name to Anne Dungan Ewing, taking her children's middle names to make a new name for herself.

Ewing died on April 11, 2011 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder at the age of 80 in her home in San Diego, California Per her request, in lieu of flowers at her memorial on May 1, 2011, donations in her memory were given to Planned Parenthood of San Diego.
