Nancy L. Stewart; age 79 of Lake Orion; passed away December 11, 2021.
Nancy had a smile and a heart as welcoming and generous as they come. She was a remarkable soul with an endless capacity for love and understanding. She radiated kindness, even in the most difficult times. Nancy was a truly, genuinely, beautiful person. Nancy met Bob, her soulmate and the love of her life, at the age of 17. They started their journey together at Michigan State University, where Nancy earned a teaching degree. She was a dynamic and treasured teacher. She was the kind of special teacher that kids and families remember for years because of the lasting impact she made. Nancy and Bob started as two broke teenagers sharing a hamburger at McDonalds in East Lansing and went on to build a remarkable and blessed life together. Nancy became a mom in 1969 with the birth of her son Rob, then again in 1970 when Lauri came along. She was as selfless and devoted as a mother could be, not just to Rob and Lauri, but to many of their friends to whom she was a "bonus mom". One of her greatest joys, however, was being a grandma. Corinne was her first and was the apple of her eye from day one. Mia was second and shared her grandma's sweetness and love of shopping. Carson was her first boy and she loved watching him play baseball and the adorable way he called her "Grams". Her heart expanded once again when the baby of the group, Tanner, entered the world. Nancy was a phenomenal cook and the most gracious of hostesses. Her enviable skills were always on full display when the whole Stewart clan would gather on Sundays for dinner. This cherished tradition came with many laughs, some tears, and, now, wonderful memories. In addition to being an amazing wife, mother and grandmother, Nancy was also a loyal and loving friend. In the words of her granddaughter, Mia, 'if there were more people like Grammy in this world, it would be a better place'. She will be missed dearly.
