Julie Ann Stewart, at the age of 62, entered eternal rest on Saturday evening, February 17th, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Mobile, Alabama, on July 6th, 1961, to David Lee Johnson Sr. and Barbara Ann Johnson.
She is survived by her husband Timmy Stewart of almost 41 years, her adoring children Brent Stewart (Tiffany), Kyle Stewart (Kristin), and Amber Byrd (Josh). She was a proud Nana to her grandchildren ( the great eight) Addison Stewart, Macie Stewart, Audrey Byrd, Annslee Stewart, Kinsley Stewart, Maddox Stewart, Darcy Byrd, and Kara Stewart. She was a beloved daughter-in-law to Shirley Riley (Chuck) of Mobile, Alabama. Julie was a caring sibling to David Lee Johnson Jr, of Camden, Alabama. Julie will be dearly missed by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends.
Julie was preceded in death by parents David and Barbara Johnson of McWilliams, Alabama, grandson Nicholas Stewart, granddaughter Karsyn Byrd, and the four sweet grandbabies that never got to be held.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, she graduated from Wilcox Academy in Camden, Alabama. She was a proud wife, mother, and Nana and was loved by all that knew her. She was a project leader to Operation Christmas Child for eight years.
Julie was very welcoming to all and had the most beautiful smile that could light up a room. She enjoyed photography, the river and beach, hunting, crafts, traveling, and of course Alabama Football. She treasured her time spent with the great eight or the crazy eight depending on how much sugar they had. She did not just love Jesus, she served Him fiercely. Her faithful devotion to Operation Christmas Child touched countless lives here and abroad. She is a precious gift who will be forever missed. Her greatest wish is for us to know and love God.
