Following a lengthy illness, Nancy C. Stewart fell asleep in death, Monday, May 28, 2018 at Select Specialty Hospital, Camp Hill, PA with her family by her side. She is now in Jehovah God's loving memory awaiting the time of the resurrection to a paradise earth as John 5:25, 28, 29 says..."the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live..."the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..."
Born October 19, 1939 in Harrisburg, PA, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Helen (Harper) Albert and was a 1957 graduate of John Harris High School, Harrisburg, PA.
Following graduation, Nancy worked for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Harrisburg, PA. She was joined together in marriage to Charles C. Stewart on March 22, 1958, and after the birth of her first child, she stayed home to care for her growing family.
She was a member of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Mechanicsburg, PA, and to the extent possible during her lengthy illness, she shared her faith and hope with her neighbors for many years.
Nancy enjoyed cooking, reading, word puzzles and putting large puzzles together. She found special enjoyment and therapeutic benefits during her ongoing illness while helping her daughter, Karen grow and create flower arrangements in her daughter's greenhouse. She held a fondness for Cosmos flowers and Sunflowers, often transplanting them from the greenhouse to her own home garden. She also loved to collect all things "Hummingbirds" or "Frogs."
Mostly, Nancy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend to her "extended family in her faith." She will be greatly missed by her family and "extended family" until we all are reunited together in Paradise on earth when, "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:3,4)
