Betty Stewart Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Betty was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who dedicated her life to her family and community. She worked at the Geauga Senior Center Kitchen and spent over 30 years volunteering with Meals on Wheels, where she touched the lives of many through her kindness. Betty also cared for the neighborhood children for over 20 years, offering a warm and nurturing presence in their lives. She made each of her visits to Meals on Wheels recipients special, often bringing thoughtful holiday treats or small gifts to brighten their day. Her kindness, selflessness, and unwavering love will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Betty's warm and caring touch molded and shaped the lives of countless individuals, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, tending to her yard and ensuring it was always perfect, and enjoying peaceful days with Ken at their farm in Middlefield. Their time together, picnicking, cooking marshmallows by the campfire, and enjoying nature, were some of the greatest joys of her life.
Betty is survived by her beloved husband, Ken Stewart; son, Richard (Joni) Stewart; daughter, Sandra (Edward) Gembka; daughter, Karen (David) Hickey; grandchildren, Sydney and Jonathan Gembka; "adopted" grandchildren, Jamie and Jessica; and many cherished family members and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Anna Repinz; brother, Joseph Repinz; and granddaughter, Cassidy.
Calling Hours will be held on Sunday, March 9, 2025 from 2:00-5:00 PM at Sly Family Funeral Home. 15670 W. High Street. Middlefield. A private graveside service will be held at Middlefield Cemetery at a later date.

I met Betty on the school bus in September 1945. Attended Burton school together all twelve years. I was the maid of honor in her wedding and she was my matron of honor the next year 1959. In 1966, we moved but we tried to see Betty and Ken when we came back to Burton. We have many fond memories. She was a dear friend and will be missed. Love, Harriet Houseman Millhof.

Betty was my cousin, and I remember many happy days spending time at Betty and Ken's home, with us kids playing in their huge yard and pool. Betty will always be remembered as a sweet, caring, positive person, who everyone liked. She will be missed by her family, friends, and all those who knew her. R.I.P., Betty...
