In loving memory
Chris Stewart was a consummate hostess. She brought people together and treated everyone to the kindness of her wisdom and the generosity of her table. Her favorite thing to do was gather a crowd and feed them while they played cards and games. She enjoyed reading, watching cooking shows on PBS and working the Sunday Times Crossword ~ in ink. She arranged fresh cut flowers often and enjoyed going to the movies. She loved all of the arts and was a long time docent at the Phoenix Art Museum.
Chris was a devoted wife to Dr. William Stewart. She was an excellent mother to her four children and their friends. She leaves her husband, her brother, four children and their spouses, four grandchildren and a large extended family who are lost without her.
Christine's Guestbook
She had nothing but kind words for me, on both good days and bad. Her assuring words were like fortune cookies after dinner, holding cryptic but inspirational messages. "You're going to do it, no one can hold you back!"
I was blessed to earn her love, and a place in her family, even after she couldn't remember who I was. She knew her first grand-daughter was due and talked often about the expected baby.
Family proved to be something too strong for Alzheimer's to take away from her, making it a painful tragedy when Alzheimer's took her away from her family.
