Michelle “Mickie” Fewell, 80, passed away peacefully at her home in Franklin Thursday, October 29, 2026.
She was born Wednesday, October 9, 1946 to the late Samuel “Sam” Grubbs Eubank and Geneva “Evelyn” (Love) Eubank in Martinsville, Indiana.
A 1964 graduate of Martinsville High School, Mickie attended Indiana University. She married Ronald Fewell in 1966. Mickie worked at an Hendricks Insurance Agency until she became a mother. Raising her children with love, laughter, and adventure was her proudest achievement.
In 1980, she began working as a teacher's aide at Community Christian School in Bloomington. She later worked as a supervisor at Emmanuel Christian School in Martinsville before becoming a lead supervisor at Tabernacle Christian School in Edinburgh, where she served for many years. She maintained lasting relationships with many of her students and was an encourager to them all.
There are so many amazing attributes that made our Mom/Mamaw the one-of-a-kind person she was. She was honest and fair, with a special way of helping those around her recognize the beauty in the little things in life. She especially enjoyed the “views” in the landscapes. She had a great love of geography. It would be impossible to capture her personality, her flair, and everything that made her so special on just one page.
Her family was her everything! Being “Mamaw” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was one of her greatest joys, and she loved each of them with all her heart.
She was truly the life of the party. She might have been late arriving, but you could always count on her being the last one to leave! She knew how to enjoy life to the fullest and made every gathering a little more memorable just by being there. If you knew Mickie, certain things will forever bring a smile to your face and remind you of her: chocolate Coke, the Ohio River, Abe Lincoln, grammar, games, playing on numbers, and, of course, sweets. These little things were part of what made her uniquely Mickie, and the memories attached to them will be treasured for years to come. She was also a great encourager in all things Bible quizzing.
Her faith and her church were the center of her life. She never missed an opportunity to talk about the Lord, His soon coming, and how glorious Heaven would be. She shared that hope with just about anyone and everyone she knew. She was an endless witness to all who would listen of the hope that was within her. Her love for the Lord was evident in her conversations, her beliefs, and the life she lived.
She bled red, white, and blue and was patriotic to the core. Political rallies and Election night parties were thrilling to her.
The hole Mickie leaves in the hearts of her family and friends is bigger than words could ever express. There will never be another quite like her. We will miss her stories, her laughter, her personality, and all the little things that made her who she was. But we will carry her memories with us, smile when those familiar reminders cross our paths, and hold tightly to the hope she so often spoke about—that one glorious day, we will see her again.
Until then, Mamaw, you will forever be loved, missed, and remembered.
