She attended Elementary and High School in Elloree SC and was a standout player for the women high school basketball team at Elloree Training School during the early 1950's. She entered into holy wedlock with Mr. Walter Lee Stewart of Elloree SC after completing high school.

Ms Stewart joined Federville Church in Santee, SC at an early age and later joined Prayer Temple Church, Bronx, NY, where she served faithfully in many capacities over the years as a member of the Church including later in life as the Mother of the Church!

After moving to The Bronx, New York in the mid-1960's she worked for nearly 15 years at Luminere Corporation, initially as a shipping clerk and later became the Orders & Shipping Manager.

Ms Stewart was an avid New York Yankees fan and actually worked part-time as a Yankee Stadium employee for over 40 years in addition to her full time job with the NYC Board of Education.

The Family wishes to Thank everyone and express our deepest appreciation for their prayers, concern and kind words of support during this most difficult time. May God continue to Bless each of You in a Special Way

God saw that You were getting tired and a cure  was not to be 
So He put his Loving Arms around You And said come Home to Me
While those of us who you've left behind wish that it wasn't so
We only know, what little that we know
      But God Knows what's best

Sadly Missed by:
Son and Daughter
