Lillian was born in Skowhegan Maine on April 16, 1928, the daughter of Frank and Eve White. She married Cyrus Stewart on April 12, 1947. She worked various jobs, but will be remembered most for how she valued family and raised six boys. Us boys were blessed to have two parents who loved us and each other. Although Mom and Dad were a team, we knew, and so did Dad, that Mom was the Boss. Our mother had a faith in God that guided her throughout her life. She had a big heart, compassion for those less fortunate and an undying love for everyone.
Lillian lived with a smile, always had big hugs, and enjoyed cooking for the kids, grandchildren and of course our Dad. She loved fishing, camping, laughter, music and life. Her journey wasn't always easy but she was guided by her faith; and in the toughest of times she never gave up.
Lillian was predeceased by her husband Cyrus Stewart, three sisters, Evelyn, Juliet and Rita, her three sons, Larry, Dana, and Darryl and a grandson John.
Lillian is survived by three sons, Ricky and Margaret Stewart of Skowhegan, Steve and Pam Stewart of Madison, Brian and Joanne Stewart of Enfield Connecticut and a special daughter-in-law. Janine Stewart. Lillian has 19 grandchildren, Michelle Stewart, Wendall Taylor, Bobbie Joe Price, Darryl Stewart Jr., Joel Stewart, Justin Stewart, Bobby Stewart, Mellisa Davenport, Danielle Stewart, Jessica Stewart, Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Holmes, Katrina Stewart, Matthew Stewart, Stephanie Lampron, Cassie Fortin, Sarah Alan, Megan Stewart, and Connor Stewart. NaNa is also survived by her great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
