Lieselotte Stewart

after a brief illness. Surrounded by her husband, children and grandchildren, she left this

world with the same dignity and grace in which she lived. She was known as “Lily” to family

and friends, “Mom” to her children and “Mimi” to her grandchildren.

Lieselotte was born in Abentheuer, Germany on February 20, 1933 to Martha Schmidt

Mörsdorf and Eugene Mörsdorf and would become big sister to little brothers, Wolfgang

and Joachim. After a stint as a governess in Spain, she would return home to Germany to

complete training as a pediatric registered nurse. It was at her position in the Nuebrucken

Hospital that she would meet her life-long love Harold Stewart. They were married on

February 2, 1960 and celebrated 62 cherished years together.

After the birth of her 3 children, Lieselotte dedicated herself to the name of Mom & Mimi.

She would spend the rest of her years devoted to her home, family and friends. She blessed

our home and lives in many ways.

As wife, she set an extraordinary example of forever love and lived her vows as she had

promised. She was a pillar of strength as a military spouse - helping her children to thrive

during the Vietnam conflict, deployments and many moves.

As our mother and grandmother, we were cherished. Our lives were filled with homecooked

meals and hand-made Halloween costumes. She tolerated every stray animal and

bug we brought home and listened to every crazy idea we dreamed up. We were loved and

her face lit up whenever she saw us.

As a friend, she was loyal and faithful. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary and was

always quick with a card and a hand-written letter.

As a master gardener, she loved plants and they loved her. Her greenhouse was always

filled with something in bloom and where she was particularly fond of African violets and

cacti She would welcome any unwanted plant or package of seeds.

As an accomplished knitter, she filled our lives with blankets, sweaters and potholders. The

clicking sound of knitting needles filled every evening.

Left to miss her is her husband Harold Stewart (Kempner, TX), daughter Christine Stewart

(Kempner, TX), son John Stewart (Copperas Cove, TX), daughter Dorothy Stewart Scheel and

her husband Winfried Scheel (Lakeway, TX) and grandchildren - Ryan Scheel (Austin, TX), Ian

Scheel (Austin, TX), Adriana Stewart (Copperas Cove, TX) and Heather Stryker (Williamsport,

PA). She is also lovingly remembered by many family and friends in the Eastern US and

Germany.

Although our hearts are heavy, we know that she is now at rest. Hers was truly a life well-lived.

She was the best of all of us. Auf Wiedersehen Mimi.
