Rebecca Ellen Stewart (Becky), age 73, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 24th at Emory - Saint Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. A resident of Knoxville TN, she was the wife of Dr. Ron Stewart, former pastor at Grace Baptist Church. Mrs. Stewart was a Godly wife, mother of four, and grandmother to nine grandchildren. She was the model image of servant leadership in her home and in her church. She taught her family to love Jesus, serve His church, to love family, and live life to the fullest. She hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, every trail in the GSM, traveled all over the world, and had fun no matter where she was. Her smile was contagious, and her laugh filled the room with joy. She fought the good fight, and she finished the race. "Now, there is in store for her the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge, will give her on that day, and not only to her, but to all those who have longed for his appearing. " She was preceded by her parents, Alvin and Doris Borror of Grove City, Ohio. Survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Dr. Ronald Stewart; her four children, Dr. Todd (Kristi)Stewart, Tracey Stewart (Keith)Biumi, Terri Stewart, and Dr. Trenton (Micah) Stewart; her 9 grandchildren, Trey, Kendra, Karis, Baylee, Taylor, Bryson, Brooke, Jacob, and Blakely. The family will receive friends 4-6 pm Sunday at Grace Baptist Church with a Celebration of Life service at 6 pm with the Dr. Ron Herrod and Dr. Lt. Commander Ernest (Bud) Holland officiating. Family and friends will meet at 10:45 am Monday at Highland Memorial Cemetery for an 11 am interment. Condolences may be left at www.weaverfuneralservices.com
