Barbara A. Stewart
April 18, 1948 — January 25, 2019
Barbara A. Stewart, 70, of Kent passed away on January 25, 2019 after a brief illness, surrounded by her family. She was born April 18, 1948 to Fred and Charlotte Fritz in Ashtabula, Ohio. Barb moved to Kent to attend Kent State University, where she graduated with a degree in education. She taught fifth grade for nine years at Brimfield Elementary School, and later taught pre-kindergarten for sixteen years at the United Methodist Church in Stow. She had a true passion for teaching and loved both jobs and all of her students.
Barb was a natural leader, unselfishly but intimately involved in several organizations and activities throughout her life. She was an active member of the United Methodist Church in Stow and sang in the choir. Barb meaningfully connected with the people she met; her optimism and friendliness made people feel comfortable. Although she had many interests, spending time with family and friends was what she enjoyed most. Her humor, care, love and incessant encouragement touched people in special ways and her loss will be felt deeply.
She is survived by her loving husband Ron; daughter Joanne (Mike) of Stow, Ohio; sons Matt (Jackie) of Beaver, Pennsylvania and Mike (April) of Bloomington, Indiana; grandchildren Adeline and Felix Stewart and Katherine Kline; siblings Charlotte Wilcom, Gail Sedmak and David Fritz; and a large, very close extended family. She also leaves behind numerous cherished friends who were like family to her.
Services will be held at the United Methodist Church in Stow on Saturday, February 2, 2019. Visitation and fellowship will begin at 10:00, followed by a memorial service at 11:00. The family would like to acknowledge the compassionate care of her family doctor Sue Meyer, and the team of oncologists, nurses, and other caregivers through Summa Health. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to consider gifts to the Faithful Servants Care Center or the United Methodist Church in Stow.
