Kelly Louise Stewart

Kelly Louise Stewart (Perucca), 60, of Hamilton, OH, formerly of Oxford, Ohio, and Bicknell, Indiana, passed peacefully on March 11, 2025, with her son Ron by her side. She was born in Vincennes, Indiana on November 28, 1964. Kelly was a beautiful mother, sister, niece, cousin and friend to many. She was a compassionate woman that loved animals (especially her cats and terrier named “Trunks”) and would help anyone, at any time, with whatever need they might have – she was always ready with her support, kindness and love. Her smile would light up a room and her laugh was contagious. While attending Krammer Elementary school, she learned tap and jazz dance at the Dixon Dance Studio in Oxford and square danced with her brother Doug in shows and competitions. She loved playing euchre with her best friend Lisa Maxwell Curtis and Lisa’s husband Shane, along with her parents and Lisa during her youth. She also played “Acey-Ducey” (a form of backgammon) for hours with her mom, dad and brother.

Kelly was a professional picture framing artist with over 40 years of experience and was trained by her father. She framed thousands of pictures during her short time here on earth. She used her framing talents at the Perucca Art Studio, later Frame & Save, both in Oxford, OH, and finally managed frame shoppes in West Chester and Cincinnati, OH. Kelly’s clients followed her wherever she was framing. She was a 1983 graduate of Talawanda High School. Kelly is preceded in death by her parents, Steve and Rhonda Perucca (Courter), brother-in-law Keith Donald Sperry, and grand-parents Pete and Mary Perucca. She is survived by her loving son Ronald Steve-Alan Stewart, brother Steven “Doug” Perucca, her devoted best friend for 50+ years Lisa Maxwell Curtis, and husband Shane Curtis, Aunt Tina Kord, and many other aunts, cousins and friends.

“God saw you and you were getting tired; a cure was not to be.

So, he put His arms around you, and He whispered “come to me”

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands went to rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best” ~ Anonymous

Kelly is deeply, deeply missed by all of us who loved her…
