Joyce Annette Stewart(formerly Peterson) passed on Friday, March 29, 2019. Joyce was most proud of her 44 year marriage to Harry Malcolm Stewart who passed in October 2001, their four children (Linda Newsome(Ken); Kathleen Foote(Greg); Kalin Scharnbeck(Chris); David Stewart(Annie)), ten grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. Her legacy is one of love: for her family, her Swedish heritage, America, blue crabs, and the Washington Redskins! Joyce’s family plans for a private family memorial. No flowers please. Just say a prayer, remember Joyce well, and live an enriched life.
Our mom’s true legacy to all of us is that she raised children that truly love and cherish one another!!! Things were not always easy with her and I but I will forever and always be grateful for the blessings of having her as my mom has been on my life. Miss you mama.
So sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from Gods promise to reunite us with our loved ones by means of the resurrection. John 5:28,29.
Your mom's voice is still with me after so many years. There are no great words of comfort, except to know that she is reunited with your dad. Be well and think of them often. Lean on them in their absence ~ they WILL hear you. Thoughts are with you.

What a wonderful loving and generous person. Our families spent so many fun times and made so many memories, between holidays,weddings,and birthdays and just gettogethers Thank you Joyce for all your calls and laughs Love for ever
Alan (Ally-Wlly) and Anne
Where does one begin to pay tribute to such an amazing lady whom i’ve known for over 50 years. She was someone I could always talk to and count on, laugh with and yes even cried with. Of course two of the fondest memories are playing Cribbage and eating crabs
May you rest in peace and say hi to everyone in heaven for me. Until our paths cross again THANK YOU
Mrs Stewart, you were always like a grandmother to me. One of my fondest memories was visiting you while also visiting my grandpa. I would walk around the corner to say hi and you would always greet me with a big hug and a lollipop with the safety sticks. As a little girl I never knew why the sticks were shaped like that but thought they were the coolest. Miss you and love you.
I have have many enjoyable memories with Mrs. Stewart!! We were paired together often when she lived in Vienna, because of her friendship with Anne! We were lucky to be able to see her a couple times in her beautiful new home in Richmond! She was always interested in others and very engaging! My husband Greg and I always enjoyed her company. Her love of her family was apparent! RIP.
I remember Joyce as my idol when when I was growing up as there was 10 years difference. Many memories in Whitehall and Muskegon at family gatherings. God rest her soul and my sympathy to all of her family and glad I could connect with you not to long ago.
I’m filled with so many loving memories of Mrs. Stewart growing up as David’s sidekick in Vienna and will remain forever grateful for all the love, compassion and patience the entire Stewart family always had towards me. Mama Meatballs, as I affectionately called her, and Papa Pancakes (Mr. Stewart) were such loving parents and it’s comforting to know they are now reunited in eternity.
Dave and Annie - Though I did not know your mother, I experienced her care and love through the way you treat others, including me. Ruth and I are sorry for your and your family’s loss of your sweet mother. May the joy of good times with her linger long after your grief of her passing.
