Carrol Stewart, aged 75, of Duncanville, Texas, passed away on February 6, 2019, with her family by her side. Carrol was born Patricia Carrol Crain to the late Ruth Smith on 16 November 1943 in Big Spring Texas, where she grew up and eventually met the love of her life, Don Stewart. On 2 July 1966 Carrol gave her heart forever to Don Stewart. In October of 1977, the couple moved to Duncanville, Texas to settle and raise their two boys.
Carrol always worked hard in her career with the U.S. Department of Labor and for her family, real and adopted. She always supported her husband with his endeavors including M.A. Stewart Nursery and later M.A. Stewart Drilling. It was during this time she met Rusty and Todd Boykin, her “other sons” as she called them.
Carrol was always encouraging, motivating, and willing to offer love and support to any who needed a mother’s care. She was respected for her straightforward attitude and her plain manner of speaking. If you were fortunate enough to be loved by Carrol, you always knew where you stood.
A great source of pride to Carrol was her family. She attended many events, presentations, and award programs. She listened to her son Joseph talk about hockey, and watched her son Michael ride bulls. Her brightest sources of joy were her four granddaughters, Taylor, Trystan, Hannah, and Leah. She loved being an active part of their lives and achievements.
In her free time, Carrol loved to dance. She and Don were members of STV Almrausch Bavarian Dance Group, and preformed with them for many years. They shared their love of dancing with both of their sons and their granddaughters. Don and Carrol’s love was evident as you watched them waltz away an evening.
Carrol’s life is one to be celebrated. She epitomized Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you”. She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Don Stewart of Duncanville, Texas; her son Joseph Stewart of Lake Dallas, Texas, his wife Teri, and daughters Hannah and Leah; and her son Michael Stewart, of Waxahachie, Texas and daughters Taylor and Trystan.
She will be missed by all of those lucky enough to call her Wife, Mother, Mawmaw, or friend. While she will be mourned on this earth, her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.” Philippians 1:2-4
