With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Nancy Ann Stewart on January 30, 2025, in Woodland Hills, California. Born on September 4, 1942, in Centralia, Illinois, Nancy brought warmth, laughter, and an endless capacity for kindness into the lives of everyone who knew her.
Nancy had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen and valued. Her outgoing nature and boundless energy meant she was always ready for a conversation, a laugh, or a moment of connection. To know Nancy was to experience her humor, her unwavering support, and her deep, selfless love. She had a way of turning strangers into friends and friends into family, making the world around her a little brighter with her presence.
Her career as an escrow officer spanned over 40 years—a testament to her dedication, reliability, and strong work ethic. She took immense pride in her profession, forming lifelong relationships with colleagues and clients alike. But of all her accomplishments, nothing meant more to Nancy than her family. Her children were her greatest source of joy, and she carried an unwavering love for them in her heart every single day.
Beyond her work and family, Nancy had a deep and abiding love for animals. She found comfort and companionship in their presence, caring for them with the same warmth and kindness she extended to everyone in her life. Her nurturing spirit and gentle heart made her a protector of all things small and vulnerable.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Lisa Stewart, who will carry forward her mother’s kindness and strength. Nancy was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Grace Auberry; father, Don Auberry; brother, Don Auberry Jr.; and son, Jamie Stewart. Their memories remain a cherished part of her story, just as hers will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
Nancy will be remembered not only for the love she gave but for the way she made others feel—cherished, supported, and never alone. Her legacy is one of laughter, compassion, and generosity, and her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known her.
Mom, you will be missed more than words can say. Your love, your laughter, and your unwavering kindness will remain with us always. Rest peacefully, knowing you were deeply loved.
