Edna Stewart Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 16 to Jan. 25, 2024.
Edna Elizabeth Stewart, age 76, of Manassas, VA, tragically passed away at Prince William Hospital in Manassas, VA, on January 2, 2024. Edna was a devoted sister, aunt, and friend to many and will leave behind cherished memories with all who were lucky enough to know her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilmer and Helen Stewart of Arlington, VA, and her sister, Grace Shultz of Midland, VA. Edna is survived by her sister, Florence Doggett of Frederick, MD, and four nieces and nephews as well as many grandnieces and grandnephews.

Edna worked for Data Inc. in Arlington for 20 years. After moving to Tyson's Corner in the early 2000s, she worked for Day and Night Printing before retiring. She enjoyed crafting, cooking, and traveling, collecting unique toothpick holders, tiny salt and paper shakers, and a wide variety of Christmas Santas from her various trips and her many friends.

Edna was loved by her family, friends, and community. She attended Arlington United Methodist Church for many years, living her Christian faith through words and deeds. A thoughtful aunt, she doted on her many nieces and nephews, never forgetting to send cards to remember all special occasions, birthdays, and holidays. She would even call on birthdays to serenade the birthday boy or girl with a not-ready-for-prime-time rendition of Happy Birthday!

BINGO! Edna was often the lucky bingo winner in her retirement community, much to the chagrin of the other residents. She kept a lucky set of bingo cards in her walker (three in fact) with an uncanny ability to win frequently. The lucky cards have since been put back into circulation for another resident of the retirement community to enjoy.

We will all miss Edna's hearty "Hi there," greetings and bear hugs.

May she rest in eternal peace and be carried to heaven on angel's wings.

A Celebration of Life was held at The Fairmont Retirement Community, 9852 Fairmont Ave, Manassas, VA 20109, on Friday, January 19, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. Services were held graveside at Union Cemetery, 323 North King St., Leesburg, VA, 2076, on Saturday, January 20 at 10:00 AM.
