Ann Louise Stewart

April 30, 1951 – September 1, 2025

Ann Louise of Sabetha Kansas, passed away peacefully on September 1, in Hollywood, Florida, at the age of 74.

Ann was born on April 30, 1951, to Bunce and Janice Palmer. She spent her early years in Sabetha with her brother Steve and sister Gwen, attending local schools before embarking on a life filled with love, family and travel. As a dedicated military spouse, Ann lived in New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Kentucky before settling in White Settlement, Texas. It was there she met James Stewart and they were married in 1987. They later relocated to Florida after James's retirement.

Ann worked as a medical transcriptionist for many years, both at a local hospital in Texas and later from home in Florida. Her speed, terminology and precision made her an invaluable part of the medical teams she supported.

Outside of work, Ann found great joy in family gatherings, nature and travel. She so enjoyed family reunions, visiting bird sanctuaries, and treasured her cross-country adventures with her sister. Her warmth, humor, and devotion to her family touched the lives of all who knew her.

Ann is survived by her loving husband James Stewart; their children MaryJan, Jennifer, Deborah, Robert, and Lisa; her sister Gwen Sherrard; and a large, loving extended family including grandchildren, great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless dear friends.

A Celebration of Life Gathering for Ann and her brother Steve will be held May 24, 2026, all day at The Main Event in Sabetha, Kansas.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Audubon Society in honor of Ann’s memory and her love of nature and family.
