Geraldine Ewing

Mrs. Geraldine “Geri” Lockner Ewing, 88, of Johnson City, Tennessee, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Friday, August 30, 2024.

Geri was born into the loving home of Elbert Blaine Lockner and Mary Story Lockner on July 29, 1936, in Erwin, Tennessee.

After her high school graduation, Geri worked as an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she would meet the love of her life, William “Bill” Ellis Ewing, who was also an agent of the F.B.I. Geri worked for the Bureau for ten years before moving with her husband to Tennessee. She worked and retired as a bank teller for Hamilton and Suntrust Banks, after many years of service.
