Deborah Kay Stewart

Deborah Kay Stewart, born on November 11, 1963, in Bluefield, West Virginia, passed away peacefully at the age of 62 on September 21, 2026, at Alderwood of Davidson County - Hinkle Hospice House. She was the beloved daughter of the late Henry Grady and Betty Gail (Stump) Stewart.

From a young age, Deborah embraced her faith and accepted Christ at Harvest Baptist Church, a testament to her enduring spirit and compassion. Her life was a tapestry woven with love, warmth, and hospitality. Deborah had a passion for cooking and cherished every moment spent with her family. Her home was always open to friends and family alike, and she cared for many children throughout her life with an open heart.

Deborah is survived by her devoted significant other, Tim Clem; her loving daughters, Abigail Stewart and Elizabeth Vaughn; her sister, Katy Echard; and her brother, Lee Stewart. She leaves behind a legacy of love in her nieces, Ashley Stewart, Isabella Stewart, and Amber Ponce, and her nephews, Chris Stewart, Samuel Stewart, Bryan Hall, and Daniel Hindre. Her cherished grandchildren—Addy Kay Gray, Avery Lee, Gracilyn Musgrave, Hudson Musgrave, Ellie Musgrave, Gabriel Ponce, Ana Kay Ponce, and Henry Ponce—will forever hold her memory dear. Deborah is also remembered by many other extended family members who were touched by her kindness and generosity.

A Celebration of Life for Deborah will be held at 12:00pm on October 8, 2026, at Harvest Baptist Church in Walkertown, NC.

May Deborah rest in peace.
