Mrs. Stewart was a faithful member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Leesville, La.  She worked at Fort Polk Youth Activity Center as a Child and youth program assistant for many years.  Her love for family, friends and classmates, her beloved Addison High School Class of 1965 always brought her back to her hometown, Port Gibson, MS and for this we are grateful. Wherever you ran into her, she was always taking a picture because she said, “Memories last a Lifetime”.
